{{#badges:Tobaccowiki}} Project Cosmic was an internal Philip Morris effort conducted between 1987-1991 to build "an extensive network of scientists and historians from all over the world” to serve as paid consultants and/or project investigators for the company. The domain of the project encompassed the history and behavioral aspects of tobacco and its alternatives. An interest in nonsubstance alternatives (music, dance, physical exercise) was also maintained. The domain of the project specifically excluded the health effects of smoking.
The network of scientists and historians developed during this period included:
- Drs. G. Mangan and I. Colrain (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
- Drs. Hans J. Eysenck and' P . Barrett (University of London, U.K.)
- Drs. David Warburton and D. Clark (University of Reading, U.K.)
- Dr. Richard J. Haier (University of California, Irvine)
- Dr. David Musto (Yale University)
- David Harley (Oxford University, U.K.)[1][2]
