虽然烟草业帮助资助了对“垃圾科学”的攻击，但它为专家证人创造了自己可疑的科学奖学金。我们建议，原告律师应积极主动地利用Daubert听证会，通过引入文件（例如我们通过研究以前享有特权的内部行业文件发现的文件）来排除烟草行业被告的科学专家证人，以证明他们提出的大部分证词是由他们的律师开发的。
Although the tobacco industry helped fund the attack on "junk science," it has created its own dubious scientific scholarship for its expert witnesses. We suggest that plaintiffs' counsel should be proactive in using Daubert hearings to exclude the tobacco industry defendants' scientific expert witnesses by introducing documentation, such as we have found through researching previously privileged internal industry documents, to prove that much of their proposed testimony was developed by and for their lawyers.
