Instructor’s Guide for College
Acknowledgements
Two of the people in this documentary should be especially noted for
their contributions:
Dr Jeffery Wigand is the highest-ranking executive in the tobacco
industry to come forward with important public health information that was
withheld by the tobacco industry. His story is told in the movie The
Insider. Find out more about him on http://www.jeffreywigand.com.
Jack Klugman, an actor well known for his television roles as a medical
examiner in the television drama Quincy, M.E. and as a slovenly sportswriter
in the comedy series The Odd Couple, now has difficulty speaking. Part of
his larynx has been removed because he has had throat cancer caused by years
of smoking.
The video accompanying this curriculum was produced by the American Lung
Association of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails under a grant provided by the
California Department of Health Services Tobacco Control Section. All rights
to the video are wholly owned by the California Department of Health
Services, Tobacco Control Section.
Susan Giarratano Russel, EdD, MSPH, CHES is the major contributor to
these guides.
