描述(申请人提供)：减少与烟草有关的疾病需要了解其媒介：烟草行业。该应用程序继续使用以前保密的烟草行业文件来了解烟草行业如何促进吸烟，并反对旨在减轻烟草引起的癌症、心脏病和其他疾病负担的公共卫生措施。它阐述了烟草行业对科学过程的影响，行业对二手烟健康和社会影响的知识，利用行业有针对性的营销战略来改善健康传播，并揭露行业颠覆烟草控制政策的努力。具体目标是：(1)继续描述和评估烟草行业影响科学的进行、解释和传播的不断演变的战略，以及该行业如何利用这些战略反对烟草控制政策。(2)分析烟草行业协调使用二手烟的定量生物检测和定性感官评估检测，以生产更能为社会接受的卷烟。(3)研究业界使用生物化验评估二手烟烟雾的致癌性和其他毒性，并将他们的私人研究与公开的研究作一比较。(4)探索利用烟草营销研究为年轻人开发有针对性的广告，并为烟草营销者确定可用于为这一群体制定更有效的烟草预防和戒烟战略的成功原则。(5)分析针对女性的烟草广告的发展，以确定销售香烟的主题和技巧，并确定可能有助于动员女性抵制这些营销努力以及改进烟草控制计划的见解。(6)分析不断演变的烟草行业战略，以反对地方、州和国际层面的烟草控制政策，特别强调该行业持续参与酒店业和博彩业，以及反对世界卫生组织《烟草控制框架公约》的努力。(7)继续查找与该项目其他目标有关的烟草行业文件，并通过互联网向其他调查人员和公众分发，特别是吉尔福德储存库和“孤儿”收藏。本研究利用电子数据库对烟草行业文献进行系统的检索和分析。这项研究的结果将指导制定更有效的控烟策略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Reducing tobacco related disease necessitates understanding its vector: the tobacco industry. This application continues using previously secret tobacco industry documents to understand how the tobacco industry promotes smoking and opposes public health measures designed to reduce the burden of tobacco induced cancer, heart disease and other diseases. It addresses tobacco industry influence on the scientific process, industry knowledge of the health and social effects of secondhand smoke, using the industry's targeted marketing strategies to improve health communications, and exposing industry efforts to subvert tobacco control policies. Specific aims are: (1) Continue to describe and assess the tobacco industry's evolving strategies to influence the conduct, interpretation, and dissemination of science and how the industry has used these strategies to oppose tobacco control policies. (2) Analyze the tobacco industry's coordinated use of quantitative biological assays and qualitative sensory assessment assays of secondhand smoke to produce a more socially acceptable cigarette. (3) Study of the industry's use of biological assays to assess the carcinogenicity and other toxicity of secondhand tobacco smoke and contrast their private research with what they made public. (4) Explore the use of tobacco marketing research to develop targeted advertising for young adults, and identify successful principles for tobacco marketers that can be used to develop more effective tobacco prevention and cessation strategies for this group. (5) Analyze the development of tobacco advertising targeting women to identify themes, and techniques that work to sell cigarettes, and to identify insights that may be useful to mobilize women to resist these marketing efforts, as well as to improve tobacco control programs. (6) Analyze evolving tobacco industry strategies to oppose tobacco control policies at the local, state, and international level, with particular emphasis on the industry's ongoing involvement with the hospitality and gaming industries, and efforts to oppose the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. (7) Continue to locate and distribute tobacco industry documents relevant to the other Aims of this project to other investigators and the public via the Internet, with particular emphasis on the Guildford Depository and "orphan" collections. The research utilizes systematic search and analyses of tobacco industry documents in electronic databases. Results of this research will guide the development of more effective tobacco control strategies.
