  "Two-thirds of Canadian smokers are smoking brands labelled 'light' or 'mild'," said Dr. Mary Jane Ashley, a professor of public health at the University of Toronto and the expert who swore the supporting affidavit for the complaint."Yet science shows that 'light' and 'mild' labelling tells smokers nothing meaningful about how much disease-causing tar they are actually inhaling.Smokers who switch to 'low-tar' brands and believe these cigarettes offer health benefits or reduced risks in comparison to 'full-strength' cigarettes have been sold a bill of goods."
  
  "The tragedy of this marketing is that thousands of smokers holding these beliefs have stayed smoking rather than quitting," Dr. Ashley added.

  Mary Jane Ashley, professor of public health sciences at the University of Toronto, says that the "weight of evidence in favor of protection is now substantial," but stressed that alcohol's protective effects against coronary disease is related only to very modest levels of consumption -- "as little as one drink every two days," she says.There are no additional benefits for higher levels of consumption, adds Ashley, and in fact, the risk of other problems -- including cirrhosis, cancer, stroke, accidental injury, and perinatal difficulties -- have been proven to increase along with consumption.
  
  Ashley points out that alcohol's protective affects have primarily been proven in certain subpopulations, especially for middle-aged men with a high risk of heart disease.Nonetheless, she and other advocates argue, the alcohol industry has been quick to seize upon the data and extrapolate the benefits to the population at large.
  ...
  Ashley noted that Canada's Low-Risk Drinking Guidelines call for a maximum of two alcoholic drinks daily, up to a maximum of nine weekly for women and 14 weekly for men.
  
  The Canadian guidelines stress that while drinking is an individual choice, it is a risky one; that the guidelines describe maximums, not targets for drinkers; that alternative means to drinking are available to reduce the risk of heart disease, such as diet and exercise; and that drinkers should contact a doctor if they are having a problem with alcohol consumption.
  
  Unfortunately, a 1997 survey showed that many Canadians drink in excess of the recommended limits, says Ashley.

  The committee was chaired by Dr. Mary Jane Ashley, formerly of the University of Toronto, and included representatives from the Addiction Research Foundation (now part of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health), the University of Toronto Centre for Health Promotion, the Ottawa Public Health Department, the Public Health Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ontario Addictions Coordinating Group.Their recommendations are contained in the 1996 discussion document entitled, A Report of the Committee to Recommend Draft Guidelines on Low-Risk Drinking for the Province of Ontario.They were reviewed by the World Health Organization, the Mensana Corporation, the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, and the National Centre for Research into the Prevention of Drug Use (Australia).Since their official release in October 1997, the Guidelines have also been published in peer-reviewed journals such as the Canadian Journal of Public Health.
