He remained there until 1981, when President Reagan nominated him for surgeon general. An evangelical Christian and an opponent of abortion, Koop became involved in the "Baby Doe" case (1982), advocating for the rights of newborns with severe birth defects. In 1984, he launched an antismoking campaign and issued (1986) a landmark report linking smoking and second-hand smoke to cancer, stroke, and other diseases. Largely as a result of his efforts, smoking was restricted in many public places. Koop also played an important role in AIDSAIDS
or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome,
fatal disease caused by a rapidly mutating retrovirus that attacks the immune system and leaves the victim vulnerable to infections, malignancies, and neurological disorders. It was first recognized as a disease in 1981.

(1916– ) surgeon, public health official; born in New York City. Surgeon-in-chief of Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, he also taught at the University of Pennsylvania (1948–81).

Appointed by President Reagan as Surgeon General of the United States (1981–89), he was at first assumed to be conservative in his views, but proved to be an independent and gradually surprised everyone by his views on such matters as smoking and AIDS.
