Indeed, observed Dr. Ernest Wynder of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, filters that significantly cut tars and nicotine "are so tight that when you smoke these cigarettes you develop a hernia...

Another medical witness, Dr. George E. Moore, director of Public Health Research in New York State, told the subcommittee, "It is possible to make a less hazardous cigarette-very substantially less...

A Columbia-trained doctor complained that his alma mater had put "a safety tag on a lethal habit." Even the New York Daily News, generally against reformers and do-gooders, labeled the Columbia press conference "giddy hoopla...
...cigarette smoking ever be entirely safe? Drs. Wynder and Hoffmann said they doubted it. They thought the only way to avoid the risks of lung cancer from smoking was not to smoke.
