Tobacco On Trial

DOJ plans to take another two hours in its redirect of Mr. Eisenberg, focusing on the 4-year-old Philip Morris External Research Program. Mr. Wells will be allowed a re-cross if he feels it necessary.

Then Dr. Green will be called. It is anticipated Ms. Ivey will be called shortly after that.

From the DOJ’s list of Witnesses:

Green, Charles

Dr. Green is a chemist who currently does some scientific consulting from his home in North Carolina. Dr. Green was employed by R.J. Reynolds from February 1968 until his retirement in February 1998. Dr. Green spent the first twelve years of his career at R.J. Reynolds studying mainstream tobacco smoke composition. Then, he spent about four years using radioisotopes to study the fate of flavoring compounds used in tobacco smoke. Dr. Green’s scientific focus at R.J. Reynolds shifted to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) in 1985 and for the next ten years, he led R.J. Reynolds’s division that did ETS-related research. From 1995 until 1998, Dr. Green continued his ETS-related work as a principal scientist by following the scientific literature and representing R.J. Reynolds at various scientific and professional organizations.

Dr. Green was heavily involved in smoking and health issues for R.J. Reynolds, including the health effects of environmental tobacco smoke. As an R.J. Reynolds scientist with managerial responsibilities, Dr. Green worked closely with other companies as well as with industry attorneys. In addition, he was member of the Tobacco Institute ETS Advisory Group and a member of the Board of Center for Indoor Air Research (”CIAR”) from its founding until he retired from R.J. Reynolds.
