Lane's first digital exhibit

Health benefits of smoking? The provocative images from tobacco ads featured in the Not a Cough in a Carload exhibit just got a digital display space. The collection of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Jackler has been on display in Lane since February and is now available at http://tobacco.stanford.edu. The exhibit profiles the tobacco industry's use of deceptive and often patently false claims to reassure the public that smoking was not only safe but healthy.

The exhibit, still in the Library until September, is the product of the interdisciplinary collaboration of Robert Jackler, Professor and Chair of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and Professor of Neurosurgery and Surgery, Laurie Jackler, Artist, and Robert Proctor, Professor of History.
