Center for Public Accountability in Tobacco Control
The Center for Public Accountability in Tobacco Control is a Web site created by Michael B. Siegel, M.D. in response to tobacco control measures and organizations that Siegel believes are too extensive or draconian. The stated function of the site is to "ensure the ethical and honest practice of tobacco control by anti-smoking organizations in the U.S." The site's pages are titled "Misleading the Public" "Inaccurate Health Claims," "Going Too Far," "Discrimination Against Smokers" and "Outdoor Smoking Bans." A page titled "The Organizations" specifically attacks the The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, The American Legacy Foundation and Americans for Nonsmokers Rights, accusing them of engaging in "unethical, deceptive, hypocritical, or otherwise inappropriate actions." The Center's Web site lists no programs, policies, board members or annual reports, and the sole contact given for the Center is Michael Seigel, M.D. in his position as Director of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department at Boston University School of Public Health.[1]
