Stanton A. Glantz, PhD

30 minute interview with Stan Glantz on KCBS covers wide range of issues

Last Sunday, February 26, 2014, San Francisco radio station KCBS broadcast a 30 minute interview with me that covered the state of tobacco control, including:

  • the fact that we could reach C. Everett Koop's goal of a smokefree society in 3-5 years here in California and 10 years if people live Governor Jerry Brown and President Barack Obama were willing to stand up to Big Tobacco and do what we know works
  • Smokefree movies
  • the FDA
  • e-cigarettes
  • the fact that Jerry Brown is the first governor to take tobacco money in 20 years and that Assembly Speaker Perez, also who takes tobacco money, has aggressively protected tobacco interests in the Legislature.  (Sacramento Bee editorial page editor Dan Morain had a great column on this on February 9 on this point.)
