Intro:

University of Central Oklahoma will host Dr. Victor DeNoble, one of the first researchers to help "blow the whistle" on the tobacco industry, at 10 a.m. Sept. 14 in Constitution Hall in Central's Nigh University Center.

DeNoble will present "Inside the Dark Side: The Science Behind Tobacco, The Truth Behind Lies" detailing his experience while working in, being let go by and testifying against the tobacco industry.

"We are thrilled to have a scientist of this magnitude come to raise awareness about the ill effects of tobacco use, and to promote tobacco use prevention," said Danielle Dill, assistant director for Health Services at Central.

"With Central going tobacco-free July 1, 2010, we are excited to partner with likeminded organizations, like the Oklahoma County Tobacco Use Prevention Coalition, to bring in Dr. DeNoble."
