Dr Faith Fitzgerald and Prof David Warburton

Professor David Warburton, (now retired, formerly head of Psychopharmacology, University of Reading) was the founder and coordinator of the Associates for Research into the Science of Enjoyment (ARISE). ARISE was set up as a direct tobacco industry response to the 1988 US Surgeon General's report on nicotine addiction and appears to have become inactive in 2004. In the 1990s, ARISE was an influential public health group that generated substantial press coverage. Dr Faith Fitzgerald is now Professor of Medicine and Assistant Dean of Humanities and Bioethics at University of California Davis Health System.
