The New York Times: Cigarette Company Paid for Lung Cancer Study

Dr. Claudia Henschke has been criticized for using grants from a cigarette company in conducting a lung cancer study...“If you’re using blood money, you need to tell people you’re using blood money,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. The society gave Dr. Henschke more than $100,000 in grants from 2004 to 2007, money it would not have provided had it known of Liggett’s grants, Dr. Brawley said. article by: Gardiner Harris photo by: Michael Christopher Brown
