This group of the tobacco industry's ETS (medical/health) and IAQ (air-testing) consultants are on the Participants list at the Philip Morris International's McGill University ETS Symposium proceedings booklet. Since this was a closed conference and all on this list had considerable background in serving the tobacco institute, it is safe to assume that they all were very aware of the systematic corruption that the industry was capable of.
