American Legacy Foundation® Honors Champion of Anti-Tobacco Fight Through a gift to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the foundation honored Dr. Stanton Glantz with a new distinguished professorship in tobacco control. Glantz is a life-long anti-tobacco champion who has conducted seminal research linking secondhand smoke to heart disease, as well as research demonstrating that large scale tobacco control programs not only reduce smoking but immediately save lives. For more than 30 years, Glantz has worked tirelessly to protect and inform the nation about Big Tobacco's deadly product. Currently, as head of the national advocacy program, Smoke Free Movies, Glantz has worked aggressively to raise awareness about the negative impact that smoking scenes in movies have on youth, making the topic a priority on the public health, political and media agendas. In 1996, Glantz co-authored The Cigarette Papers, the published version of the incriminating internal tobacco documents first leaked to him. Today, these and other once-secret tobacco industry documents are housed at the UCSF Library. Glantz, a professor of medicine at UCSF, received his bachelor's degree from the University of Cincinnati, graduate degrees from Stanford University, and postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco. Glantz received the American Public Health Association, Alcohol and Other Drugs section Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 and, in 2005, was elected to the Institute of Medicine. He is the author or co-author of 21 books and more than 200 scholarly articles. This chair will be renamed the Stanton Glantz Distinguished Professorship in Tobacco Control upon his retirement.
