Glantz is Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology, the American Legacy Foundation Distinguished Professor of Tobacco Control, and director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cardiology.ucsf.edu/facstaff/faculty_profiles.html )〕 Glantz's research focuses on the health effects of tobacco smoking. Often called the "Ralph Nader of the anti-tobacco movement,"〔 Glantz is an activist for nonsmokers' rights and an advocate of public health policies to reduce smoking. He is the author of four books, including ''The Cigarette Papers''〔S. Glantz, et al., (Cigarette Papers''", University of California Press, 1996 )〕 and ''Primer of Biostatistics''.〔S.
