Beginning October 7, 2008 and lasting until December 26, 2008, a new exhibition will be showcased at The New York Public Library’s Science, Industry and Business Library's Healy Hall at 188 Madison Avenue in New York City. The exhibit, Not a Cough in a Car Load: Images Used by Tobacco Companies to Hide the Hazards of Smoking, will examine the various and often deceptive ways cigarette companies have used to promote their product. Admission is free. In conjunction with this event, the exhibition’s curator, Dr. Robert Jackler, will provide a lecture on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 from 5:30 to 7:30PM, which will include a presentation of vintage video advertisements for tobacco products.
