Article Defending Nicotine Replacement Therapy Fails to Disclose Author's Conflict of Interest with Big Pharma


https://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/09/article-defending-nicotine-replacement.html


Talk about conflict of fucking interest:


"In 2016, the lead author was the recipient of a Pfizer research awardfor the study of nicotine dependence. That announcement reports that he "has received consulting fees, honoraria and grants from several for-profit and non-profit organizations that develop smoking-cessation devices, medications, and services, including Pfizer."

The lead author's online CV acknowledges that he has performed consulting services for: "Abbot Laboratories,Acrux Ltd, ALZA Corporation, American Cynamid, Anesta, Aradigm, BASF/Knoll, Begbies Traynor; Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Celtic Pharmaceuticals, Ciba-Geigy, Cygnus, DynaGen Corporation, Elan/Sano, Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals, Glaxo Wellcome, Dupont Merck Pharmaceuticals, Hoechst Marion Rouseau/Marion Merrell Dow/Merrell Dow Lakeside, Lederle Pharmaceuticals, McNeil Pharmaceutical/McNeil Consumer, Nabi, Inc, Neuromedical Technologies, Inc., Neuroscience Ventures, Pacific Pharmaceuticals, Parke Davis Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Pharmacia & Upjohn/AB Leo Pharmaceuticals/Kabi Pharmacia/Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Sano Pharmaceuticals, Propagate Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi/Synthelabo Pharmaceuticals, SmithKlineBeecham/Glaxo SmithKline Consumer Healthcare, Xenova Limited."

The lead author reports (in the online CV) having received grants from Pfizer (Chantix), McNeil Pharmaceuticals (Nicotrol inhaler and nicotine nasal spray), Pharmacia & Upjohn/Smith Klein Beecham Healthcare (nicotine gum), ALZA (Nicoderm), Marion Merrell Dow (Nicorette), and DynaGen (NicErase)."



There is only one reason that an author wouldn't bother to mention all of this Big Pharma conflict of interest.

This guy has something to hide and a reason to hide it. - 5150

Nicotine replacement therapy works for me -- provided I inhale the nicotine as a delicious vapor. :D
