Dear Colleagues,
The latest issue of the Legal
Update, the newsletter of the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, is now
available at http://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/sites/default/files/resources/tclc-legal-update-summer-2014.pdf. This special
commemorative edition looks back at tobacco control accomplishments since 1964,
the year the first Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health was
released. We feature reflections on memorable moments in tobacco control
law and policy from Consortium attorneys at several legal resource centers and
we review a few major legal challenges over the last decade. We include a
salute to a committed public health champion who has played a pivotal role in
U.S. tobacco control legislation – Congressman Henry Waxman, along with a special
story by attorney Cliff Douglas about Waxman’s ingenuity as a tobacco control
champion. We also feature an "Ask a Lawyer"
column by Consortium attorney Mark Meaney on a key challenge facing the
tobacco control community today – e-cigarettes. Finally, we provide links
to new tobacco control resources, tobacco
law and policy job postings, and upcoming
events.
We hope you find the Legal
Update helpful in your work. As always, if you would prefer not to
receive these messages, please let us know.
Best regards,
Doug Blanke, Executive Director
