Why is someone like this representing a science org? Don’t we have anyone who isn’t a shitstain to be a spokesperson for science?

Because what he represents is in reality an astroturf organization, IMHO.

Is it? Had never heard of it, and I did a cursory lookup to make sure it wasn't one of those sciency-sounding Moonie cult groups. Seemed legit. At most found that it has been accused of shilling for big industry interests. But then I didn't dig too deeply.

The previous president was a felon. Hank is a relative step up.

Executive directors (Gil Ross), actually. I don't think Elizabeth Whelan, the only president ACSH ever had before Hank, was a convicted felon, although she was definitely a crank in many ways.

Yeah yeah. Details. Whelan was bonkers. Except on smoking.

Also, ACSH has been getting a bit...squishy...on smoking these days. It's become a cheerleader for e-cigs and has very much denied or downplayed the health dangers of secondhand smoke.
