The Journal of Regulation and Social Cost was owned by the Tobacco Institute via the National Chamber Foundation. It carried numerous articles peripherally angled to oppose attempts at smoking or general air-pollution or environmental regulation, including "Reevaluating the Risk from Dioxin", by Michael Gough (the associate of the TASSC junk-man Stephen Milloy), and "Nagging Down the Party Animals" by Hank Cox. TASSC was a tobacco industry operation via APCO & Associates
