Senator Ortolan Finistirre:
[during the Senate subcommittee]
Please state your name, address, and current occupation.
Nick Naylor:
My name is Nick Naylor. I live at 6000 Massachusetts Avenue. I am currently unemployed but until recently I was the Vice President of the Academy of Tobacco Studies.
Senator Ortolan Finistirre:
Mr. Naylor, as Vice President of the Academy of Tobacco Studies, what was required of you? What did you do?
Nick Naylor:
I informed the public of all the research performed in the investigation on the effects of tobacco.
Senator Ortolan Finistirre:
And what, so far, has the Academy concluded in their investigation into the effects of tobacco?
Nick Naylor:
Well, many things actually. Why just the other day they uncovered evidence that smoking can offset Parkinson's disease.
Senator Ortolan Finistirre:
I'm sure the health community is thrilled. Mr. Naylor, who provides the financial background for the Academy of Tobacco Studies?
Nick Naylor:
Conglomerated Tobacco.
Senator Ortolan Finistirre:
That's the cigarette companies.
Nick Naylor:
For the most part, yes.
Senator Ortolan Finistirre:
Do you think that might affect their priorities?
Nick Naylor:
No. Just as, I'm sure, campaign contributions don't affect yours.
Senator Lothridge:
Mr. Naylor is not hear to testify on the goings on of the Academy of Tobacco Studies. We're hear to examine the possibility of a warning label on cigarettes. Now, Mr. Naylor, I have to ask you out of formality, do you believe that smoking cigarettes, over time, can lead to lung cancer and lead to other respiratory conditions such as emphysema.
Nick Naylor:
Yes. In fact, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who really believes that cigarettes are not potentially harmful. I mean - show of hands - Who out here thinks that cigarettes aren't dangerous?
