目的：记录烟草业赞助的科学家访问澳大利亚的历史以及他们访问所产生的关于吸烟和健康问题的新闻媒体报道。设计：对通过主和解协议提供的烟草行业内部文件进行系统关键词和机会性网站搜索。结果：从1969年到1979年，至少有9名受资助的科学家访问了澳大利亚。该行业试图将科学家宣传为独立于该行业，有时，科学家公开谎报他们的行业关系。业界有时对媒体对访问的广泛和有利的报道感到高兴。结论：这些媒体报道很可能影响了许多接触到这些报道的人，使他们相信反对吸烟的证据仍然模棱两可。
Objective:To document the history of visits to Australia by tobacco industry sponsored scientists and news media reports about smoking and health matters generated by their visits.Design:Systematic keyword and opportunistic website searches of tobacco industry internal documents made available through the Master Settlement Agreement.Results:At least nine sponsored scientists visited Australia from 1969 until 1979. The industry sought to promote the scientists as independent from the industry and on occasion, scientists publicly lied about their industry connections. The industry was sometimes delighted with the extensive and favourable media coverage given to the visits.Conclusions:These media reports are likely to have influenced many who were exposed to them to believe that the evidence against smoking remained equivocal.
