Smoking Regulation Symposium
Going Too Far? Exploring the Limits of Smoking Regulation
On October 23, 2007, the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium held an interactive public health law symposium entitled “Going Too Far? Exploring the Limits of Smoking Regulation” at William Mitchell College of Law, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The symposium provided a forum for a lively exchange of divergent views among public health lawyers and tobacco control experts about the impact of expansive new smoke-free policies on autonomy, privacy, confidentiality, personal liberty, and public health. The symposium featured five speakers, all nationally recognized experts in public health law and tobacco control policy, who spoke in two moderated point/counterpoint sessions, presenting and debating differing views of each topic:
Simon Chapman, Ph.D
University of Sydney
Robert Crane, M.D.
Ohio State University
Lewis Maltby, J.D.
National Workrights Institute
James Repace, MSc., Biophysicist
Tufts University School of Medicine
David Sweanor, J.D.

Proceedings from the 2007 Tobacco Control Legal Consortium "Going Too Far? Exploring the Limits of Smoking Regulation" published in the William Mitchell Law Review Vol. 34:4 (2008).
