Robert K. Jackler, MD (center), the Sewall Professor and chair of otolaryngology and associate dean at Stanford University School of Medicine, talks to WUSTL second-year medical students Andrew Y. Lee (left) and Elizabeth Davlantes about some of the smoking posters in his exhibit “Not a Cough in a Carload: The Campaign by the Tobacco Industry to Hide the Hazards of Smoking.” The exhibit is on display through April 30 at the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center and the Bernard Becker Medical Library. Jackler spoke at the School of Medicine March 9 about his exhibit and how the advertising industry used medical science to promote cigarette smoking in the 20th century.
