How I Learned That Cigarettes Were Addictive--1970s to 1980s: A Personal History.

How I Learned That Cigarettes Were Addictive--1970s to 1980s: A Personal History. J Stud Alcohol Drugs. 2020 Nov;81(6):731-737 Authors: Kozlowski LT Abstract OBJECTIVE: This is a personal history of how I came to view cigarette smoking as an addiction to nicotine. I discuss working with Stanley Schachter and Murray Jarvik. Although I note the importance of Michael Russell (as do many colleagues), I draw attention to the considerable effect on my work of Edward Brecher through his 1972 book, Licit and Illicit Drugs. I give examples of the influence of the makers and sellers of nicotine-containing gum on my career in Canada and the United States as well as on the careers of several important colleagues. Ted Klein, who did public relations for nicotine-replacement products, is noted as an important figure in the tobacco control movement of the time, especially for those doing behavioral and smoking cessation research.
