David is the author of "Denial and Delay--The political history of smoking and health, 1951-1964 , Scientists, Government and Industry as seen in the papers at the Public Records Office (in Great Britain)". Thank you for taking the time to be with us and may I ask you to introduce yourself?
Yes - first: thank you for the invitation! I came into tobacco control at the age of 48, when I was made redundant after a 25-year career in the coal industry and applied for the post of director of Action on Smoking and Health (UK) and was appointed.
I was Director from 1991 to 1994 and I remain a member of the ASH advisory council.
