"The FDA erred in concluding that current, ongoing financial relationships with drug manufacturers did not constitute a conflict. Since manufacturers of smoking-cessation drugs compete with manufacturers of DTPs, ... and since Dr. Benowitz stood to profit from the sale of NRT drugs, he faced a conflict with regard to providing advice in the TPSAC's report on DTPs. ... the TPSAC was charged with studying the public health impact of a drug (i.e., DTPs), and Dr. Benowitz had an ongoing business relationship (i.e., consulting work) with companies developing "alternative" or competing drugs (i.e., smoking-cessation drugs). Accordingly, I find that the FDA's conclusion with regard to Dr. Benowitz was a 'clear error of judgment.'"
The piece highlights Dr. Alan Blum's documentary which reveals that the tobacco control movement has degraded into a fight for prestige and money rather than a fight against tobacco-related morbidity and mortality: "On the 50th anniversary of the 1964 report, Alan Blum, director of the at the University of Alabama, released a documentary that highlights what he calls “the persistent foot-dragging, fear, and squandering of funds by public health agencies, universities, and medical associations alike in ending the smoking pandemic.” This is the real story of the modern-day tobacco control movement. It demonstrates that the tobacco problem is far from over, and that today’s leading antismoking groups have squandered the opportunity to continue Terry’s legacy."
