Please join us for our PRL-IHPS Grand Rounds - an informal lunch-time gathering of PRL-IHPS faculty and research and administrative staff.

Our speaker will be Dr. Stanton Glantz, whose talk is entitled:

"Smoking in the Movies: Breaking the Alliance between Big Tobacco and Hollywood"

Stanton Glantz, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, has been a core member of PRL-IHPS for 20 years who specializes in mounting science-based advocacy efforts designed to reduce the brown epidemic of tobacco-induced disease and death. He did the scientific and policy research that helped launch the nonsmokers’ rights movement that is now spreading across the world. Looking for another impossible problem, he started working to break the decades-old alliance between Big Tobacco and Hollywood in March 2001 because it is the single most important thing that can be done to prevent youth smoking.

Astonishingly, there has been real progress in solving this problem. Come learn why smoking in the movies is such a big public health problem, how it can be simply solved, and where we are in solving it.
