The tobacco industry, working through third parties to prevent policy-relevant research that adversely affected it between 1988 and 1998, used coordinated, well-funded strategies in repeated attempts to silence tobacco researcher Stanton A. Glantz. Tactics included advertising, litigation, and attempts to have the US Congress cut off the researcher's National Cancer Institute funding. Efforts like these can influence the policymaking process by silencing opposing voices and discouraging other scientists from doing work that may expose them to tobacco industry attacks. The support of highly credible public health organizations and of researchers' employers is crucial to the continued advancement of public health.
烟草行业在1988年至1998年间通过第三方开展行动，以阻止对其产生不利影响的政策相关研究，采用了协调一致、资金充足的策略，多次试图让烟草研究者斯坦顿·A·格兰茨闭嘴。手段包括广告宣传、诉讼，以及试图让美国国会切断该研究者来自国立癌症研究所的资金。诸如此类的行径会通过压制反对声音以及阻碍其他科学家开展可能使他们遭受烟草行业攻击的研究工作，进而影响决策过程。高度可信的公共卫生组织以及研究者雇主的支持对于公共卫生的持续进步至关重要。
