Drug Information Handbook For Dentistry

This listing grew out of a year of reporting on tobacco issues for National Public Radio and The Center for Investigative Reporting. At the time I was a Kaiser Media Fellow and spent almost as much energy collecting files, sources, and ideas as I did reporting particular stories. The guide--with some oversights who will undoubtedly identify themselves--is an attempt to share some of that research.

Under the new Republican-controlled Congress, it is unlikely that there will be a lot of action on tobacco in the legislative branch this year. Litigation and regulation, however, could be an entirely different story. Special areas to watch in '95: David Kessler and FDA, OSHA, tobacco taxes to fund health care, class-action lawsuits, actions by state attorneys general, and crackdowns on access to minors.
