20世纪80年代末，国际烟草业协助成立了国际建筑环境学会，并出版了《室内与建筑环境》杂志。利用来自烟草业文件的证据，我们检查了协会执行人员、期刊编辑和董事会的行业协会，以及该期刊发表环境烟草烟雾论文的程度，这些论文将被烟草业视为有利的。该协会的管理层一直由烟草业的有偿顾问主导：1992年的6名会员中，有7人通过行业律师与金融协会有联系；2002年的8名会员中，有7人通过行业律师与金融协会有联系。1992年和2002年分别有67%和66%的编委会成员与烟草业有财务往来。在研究期间发表在《室内与建筑环境》杂志上的与环境烟草烟雾有关的论文中，有61%（40/66）得出了可以判断为行业正面的结论。其中，90%（36/40）至少有一位作者与烟草业有关联史。国际建筑环境学会的执行委员和《室内与建筑环境》的编辑委员会在很大程度上是由有烟草业咨询历史的人组成的。根据本文提出的证据，烟草业可能对期刊的内容产生了不适当的影响，这是一个严重的问题。
In the late 1980s, the international tobacco industry assisted in the establishment of the International Society of the Built Environment, which published the journal Indoor and Built Environment. Using evidence from tobacco industry documents, we examine the industry associations of the Society's executive, the journal's editor and board, and the extent to which the journal publishes papers on environmental tobacco smoke that would be deemed favourable by the tobacco industry. The society's executive has been dominated by paid consultants to the tobacco industry: all six members in 1992 and seven of eight members in 2002 had financial associations through industry lawyers. 67% of the editorial board in 1992 and 66% in 2002 had histories of financial associations with the tobacco industry. 61% (40/66) of papers related to environmental tobacco smoke published in Indoor and Built Environment in the study period reached conclusions that could be judged to be industry-positive. Of these, 90% (36/40) had at least one author with a history of association with the tobacco industry. The executive of the International Society of the Built Environment and the editorial board of Indoor and Built Environment are in large part consisted of people with histories of consultancies to the tobacco industry. On the basis of the evidence presented in this paper, there is a serious concern the tobacco industry may have been unduly influential on the content of the journal.
