This book offers a comprehensive introduction to historic and
contemporary efforts to regulate tobacco and reduce the staggering
number of people who die from using tobacco products. With calls
for greater government regulation of tobacco culminating in the
historic June 2009 passage of federal antismoking legislation,
Tobacco could not be more timely. It is the most authoritative and
accessible volume available on the evolution of tobacco consumption
as well as efforts to protect consumers from its dangers. Tobacco
focuses on five key issues: tobacco excise taxation and health
policy; the often misleading advertising of cigarettes and "low
tar/nicotine" alternatives; the role of the Food and Drug
Administration in regulating tobacco; education and prevention
efforts aimed at children and teens; and environmental tobacco
health risks, including second hand smoke. It is an eye-opening
introduction to the entire history of efforts to regulate
tobacco—from its beginnings in the Progressive Era of the early
20th century to recent efforts to uncover suppressed medical
reports, ban smoking ads, and get smoking out of the movies.
