Acquisition Information
Some materials were donated by John Slade, and some were collected by the Tobacco Control Archives following Slade's death

Biography
John Downey Slade (1949-2002) was an epidemiologist who studied tobacco products and their effects on health. In March of
1994, at a meeting of a subcommittee of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce, he brought
what the New York Times called "a beaker of tobacco extract" to dramatize his testimony about the chemistry of tobacco substances.
Co-editor of the clinical textbook
Nicotine addiction: principles and management (1993), Slade was also a member of the team that analyzed the Brown and Williamson Collection and a co-author of
The Cigarette Papers, the published study resulting from that analysis. Slade's work in the fields of tobacco control and the clinical treatment
of tobacco addiction was recognized by numerous organizations that honored him with awards, including Emory University, the
American Society of Addiction Medicine, and the German Medical Association. Starting in 1994 he was listed in The Best Doctors
in America. He founded Trinkets & Trash Services with a mission to collect samples and representations of tobacco-industry
promotional materials and furnish them to public health services, attorneys, press, tobacco-control advocates, and others
for educational purposes. From these samples and photographs taken of billboards and other advertisements, Slade produced
a circulating slide collection for use in presentations.
Scope and Content of Collection
This collection consists mainly of a copy of John Slade's slides on tobacco advertising, along with his descriptions and comments,
that were circulated together in a binder by Trinkets & Trash Services. Color printouts from the Trinkets & Trash World Wide
Web site are included. Following Slade's death in 2002, printouts and articles memorializing him were added.
Arrangement
The collection is divided into two record groups: materials donated by Slade; materials about Slade and Trinkets & Trash accumulated
by the Tobacco Control Archives.
