Doctors Ignore Warnings Cigarette Sales Brisk At AMA Meet
At the AMA gathering at the Palace Hotel the cigarette counter saw brisk sales despite a Cancer Society warning that smoking shortens life. AMA President Edward J. McCormack, 62, said he will keep smoking a pack a day. Cancer Society official Charles Cameron urged caution but foresaw possible removal of hazardous cigarette substances within five years. Tobacco stocks fell to new lows, wiping out about 1 million in paper profits on the New York Stock Exchange.
