Tobacco

Beginning with the first report in 1964, smoking has been the single most important issue for all the Surgeons General of the past five decades. The reports of the Surgeon General on tobacco have alerted the nation to the health risk of smoking and have transformed the issue from one of individual and consumer choice to one of epidemiology, public health, and risk for smokers and non-smokers alike.
