the paper and where it should be published." In January 1994 Luik published "Do Tobacco Advertising Bans Really Work? A Review of the Evidence. He is credited as a scholar with the Niagara Institute, with assistance from the International Advertising Association. In mid 1996 Luik was hired by the Australian tobacco industry to 'criss-cross the country' promoting his book Smokescreen: Passive Smoking and Public Policy which attacked the US Environmental Protection Agency's risk assessment which had determined that second-hand tobacco smoke (Environmental Tobacco Smoke, or ETS) as a "Known carcinogen". His book was published and promoted by the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) which was funded by the Australian cigarette companies. This was set up to counter a public tour of Australia by the anti-smoking activist Stanton Glantz of the University of California, San Francisco. Luik became a Senior Fellow at the Democracy Institute, where amongst other subjects he continued to work on tobacco. A 2006 paper titled "Why Graphic Warnings Don't Work" was acknowledged as being "made possible by funding provided by Imperial Tobacco Group PLC".
