We describe the tobacco industry's response to the American Stop Smoking Intervention Study (ASSIST). Tobacco industry documents from the University of California, San Francisco/Legacy Tobacco Documents Library and industry Web sites were analyzed. LexisNexis and the Library of Congress's Thomas Web site were searched for legislative history. We found that the tobacco industry considered ASSIST a major threat because of its emphasis on policy and creation of local tobacco control infrastructures. The industry mobilized resources for a well-coordinated attack on ASSIST. Although industry executives were sometimes frustrated in their efforts, they ultimately had a chilling effect on ASSIST. This evidence suggest that tobacco control advocates should expect a vigorous response from the tobacco industry to policy advocacy efforts, particularly at the local level.
我们描述了烟草行业对美国戒烟干预研究（ASSIST）的反应。对来自加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校/遗产烟草文档库以及行业网站的烟草行业文档进行了分析。利用LexisNexis数据库和国会图书馆的托马斯网站搜索了立法历史。我们发现，烟草行业认为ASSIST是一个重大威胁，因为它强调政策以及创建地方烟草控制基础设施。该行业调集资源，对ASSIST展开了精心协调的攻击。尽管行业高管的努力有时受挫，但他们最终还是对ASSIST产生了令人寒心的影响。这一证据表明，烟草控制倡导者应该预料到烟草行业会对政策倡导努力，尤其是地方层面的努力，做出积极回应。
