'''Clive Turner'' became ' was one of the best-known spokespersons and organisers for the British tobacco industry as '''Director of Public Affairs ''' for the '''[[Tobacco Advisory Council]] (TAC)'''. He came moved over to the TAC from [[British-American Tobacco]] , and over , during his lifetime , he worked in a number of roles in the British industry. He was nominally the head of the [[British Tobacco Institute]], the PR head of TAC, and later in life he was the head of the ]][[Tobacco Institute of Hong Kong]]then head of the [[Tobacco Manfufacturers Association]] in the UK.
His son [[Simon Turner]] [Real name ''Guy Simon Mark Turner''] also managed to get a piece of the action in the notorious sham air-testing business , [[Healthy Buildings International]] , which was run in the USA by [[Peter Binnie]] and [[Gray Robertson]]. Simon appears to have taken over Binnie's role as administrator and spokesman for the company (originally called ACVA]]) when Binnie left and returned to Britain; clearly he had some share of the operation.
==Documents & Timeline==
<b>1986 Feb 27</b> '''[[Anne Johnson]]'''], product liability lawyer for BATCo, writes about an ITV interview program the night before which featured Clive Turner.<BLOCKQUOTE><I> In brief, Turner says that the industry is not concerned with Smoking and Health research and does not do any, (he) says that it is the Government's problem.
This is simply not true -- each of the companies in TAC does Smoking and Health research and TAC itself sponsors such research.
Furthermore, the remarks contradict everything we have said over the years about the need for research, and the amount we should spend on research.
Turner's remarks give [[David Simpson ]] of ASH (anti-smoking activist) the perfect opportunity of accusing to accuse the industry of not being interested in the health of its consumers. We should ensure that, for the future, Clive Turner gives a more accurate view of the industry's attitude to Smoking and Realth research. </I></BLOCKQUOTE> http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/cvh44a99/pdf

<u>'''Who they were? And What They Did?'''</u>
# '''[[Paul G Dietrich]]''' and '''[[David A Morse]]''' were partners who worked with [[Geoffrey C. Bible|Geoff Bible]] (an old friend of Morse) and the industry macheavellian, '''[[Andrew Whist']]''' of PMI Corporate Affairs in establishing and operating many front groups including the [[AECA]], [[NYSIA]], [[Libertad]], and [[IIHD]]. The Catholic University in Washington was just a front for IIHD, and Morse and Dietrich also operated internationally through the [[Knights of Malta]].# '''[[Wayne Reid]]''' was '''[[Andrew Whist]]'s''' long-term lobbyist who was well-funded to retain the tobacco-sports sponsorship, . He worked originally in Australia, then later internationally. He had been a clandestine recruit many years before this time, as head of Australian Lawn Tennis Association.
# '''[[Auberon Waugh]]''' (and his close friend '''[[Bernard Levin]]''') were extremely well compensated by the tobacco industry to promote the concept of the Nanny-State (an over-protective state, with too many health regulations). This idea was being promulgated here through the faux-Latin-American (human rights image) [[Libertad]] organisation (actually run by Whist). Philip Morris used these sophisticated, errudite media 'curmudgeon-contrarians' as distributos of this message on a global scal. This was partly a Murdoch-News Ltd. operation. </I></BLOCKQUOTE> http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/uyp14e00/pdf
