US Med Student on YouTube About Big Tobacco

This 1rst year medical student in Boston uses YouTube to talk about his classes. In this video he talks about the number of smoking videos on YouTube and wonders quoting from Simon Chapman's work  (pdf) if this is a plot of the tobacco industry. An interesting experience and argument: Is Big Tobacco Stealth Marketing To YouTubers? He also mentions Allan Brandt's book: The cigarette century

Dear All,
Hi! I'm a first-year medical student and every week, I'm learning exciting and critical topics on medicine. But too often, the things I'm learning about never reach the public.

I wanted to try an experiment -- sharing health information on Youtube. My goal's to start conversations about issues that newspapers don't cover often but that are immediately relevant to your health and my health.

I hope to answer your questions either through e-mail or through the video updates -- please message me and I will try my best to answer them by asking my professors and by citing credibles sources (JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, etc...)

I hope this experiment works -- and if it fails, I hope someone sees these videos, says, "hmmm, these are bad videos, but I love the idea," and decides to go for it.

A Case of Mistaken Identity:
On a random note, I noticed that there are a few people with the screen name "USMedstudent" out there. I only use "usmedstudent" for Youtube, not for anything else. Also, my posts are not related to politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict, so please don't get me confused with someone else. Thank you!

http://la-civette.euro-cig.com/ est un site d'escrocs et de voleurs. Je n'ai jamais reçu ma commande 40998 de Février 2008 et ils refusent de me rembourser. Un conseil pour eux: remboursez moi ou je continue ce genre de pub!
