 abstract = {This paper examines the silencing of science, that is, efforts to prevent the making                of specific scientific claims in any or all of the arenas in which these                claims are typically reported or circulated. Those trying to mute the reporting or                circulation of scientific claims are termed “partisans.” The                paper examines silencing through a systematic examination of the “rapid                responses” to a smoking study published in the British Medical                Journal claiming that secondhand smoke is not as dangerous as conventionally                believed. Media coverage of the smoking study is also examined, as is the question                of whether there is self-silencing by the media regarding doubts about the negative                effects of passive smoke. The results suggest that the public consensus about the                negative effects of passive smoke is so strong that it has become part of a regime                of truth that cannot be intelligibly questioned.},
