Dominique Bienfait

Dominique Bienfait was a Philip Morris and general tobacco industry consultant in Building Engineering, based in a new town Marne-la-Vallee, just outside Paris France. He ran his own business. [1]

He was a prominent member of the cabal of scientists and academics which took money from the tobacco industry to provide witness services, do pseudo research, and to establish fake scientific associations of so-called experts to provide some sort of cover for those dissembling the environmental and health aspect of passive smoking (known as Environmental Tobacco Smoke or ETS)

Bienfait was listed as a member of two of these pseudo-science associations, ARIA (Associates for Research into Indoor Air) in the UK, and IAI (Indoor Air International) which purported to be a global umbrella organisation on indoor air quality (IAQ). He was on the Editorial Council of the IAI Journal, Indoor Environment'. These operations were all funded and run by tobacco industry staff and their lackies.
