- Summary:
- In 1967, the federal government began testing cigarettes for tar and nicotine, resulting in the proliferation of light cigarettes, promoted as being less harmful to smokers. Despite the popularity of these so-called safer, low-tar cigarettes, the number of Americans dying from smoking-related diseases has risen. Includes interviews with: Dr. David Burns, U.S. Surgeon General, William Farone, research scientist, and Patricia Henley, a smoker suffering from inoperable throat cancer who sued Philip Morris and was awarded $26 million.
