WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ASH

What They Say About ASH

                         The tobacco institute's most active opposition has its
                         headquarters within four blocks of the institute's plush digs. If
                         you want to get involved in anti-smoking efforts, contact ASH
                         -- READER'S DIGEST

                         At the forefront of this campaign [to protect nonsmoking
                         passengers] is a nonprofit organization called Action on
                         Smoking and Health -- NEW YORK TIMES

                         If there's one group the tobacco industry fears more than any
                         other, it's ASH. Action on Smoking and Health, the foremost
                         smoking and health organization in the country -- THE
                         PASSIONATE NONSMOKERS' BILL OF RIGHTS

                         John F Banzhaf III, The Man Behind the Ban on Cigarette
                         Commercials-- READER'S DIGEST

                         It is encouraging that [ASH] has been able to move with such
                         effectiveness against the powerful tobacco industry --
                         CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

                         The victory [forcing TV stations to air free antismoking
                         messages] prompted Banzhaf to quit his New York law firm
                         and devote his time to ASH -- TIME MAGAZINE

                         A potentially effective weapon in the public interest may exist
                         in [ASH]-- NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF
                         MEDICINE

                         Such individuals as Banzhaf have the potential to tilt the
                         balance of power in Washington law -- THE
                         SUPER LAWYERS

                         The industry was about to meet one of the most effective
                         antismoking activists ever. Thus was born the first organization
                         in the US  dedicated solely to fighting tobacco companies --
                         BOSTON GLOBE

                         [ASH] played a major role in establishing the legal concept of
                         the right of nonsmokers to be free from exposure to tobacco
                         smoke.  [ASH] serves as the legal action arm of the
                         antismoking community -- 1989 SURGEON GENERAL'S
                         REPORT

                         Banzhaf may be to Camels what Ralph Nader was to
                         Corvairs. He was instrumental in getting the nation's airlines to
                         ban smoking on most domestic flights.He's the bane of the
                         tobacco industry -- REGARDIE'S MAGAZINE

                         Where There's Smoke There's Banzhaf & Co. . . The man
                         whose single-handed legal attacks put anti-cigarette
                         commercials on television. WASHINGTON STAR

                         The rights of the nonsmoker to breathe air unpolluted by
                         tobacco smoke have been vigorously asserted recently by a
                         number of public interest groups created especially for this
                         purpose. . . .  Prominent among these is the
                         Washington-based Action on Smoking and Health (ASH).
                         THE POLITICS OF CANCER

                         The nongovernmental organization leading the antismoking
                         campaign in the United States. WORLDWATCH
