In 20 years, what smoker will legitimately be able to claim that he
or she didn't know cigarettes were harmful or addictive? And how
shocked will a jury really be when it hears that a tobacco
executive in the 1960s knew about the addictive nature of
cigarettes? There's no real evidence that telling kids not to smoke
really works. Indeed, studies have shown that it can often have the
opposite effect. Children, by their very nature, love to defy
authority, and spending millions on advertising to vilify the
cigarette could ultimately serve to enhance its appeal. The
cigarette is and will continue to be forbidden fruit. Even though
the films of Hollywood's Golden Age once portrayed smoking as a
normal activity, smoking no longer enjoys such popularity-and for
good reason. An estimated 3.5 million people worldwide still die
each year from smoking-related illnesses. Through the use of
factoids and cartoons, author Gilbert M. Silva illustrates his
belief that smokers are victims of what is essentially a ridiculous
and deadly activity. the use of tobacco products are indisputable,
and they deserve serious consideration. Your body will appreciate
it, don't you think?'. This is certainly an important topic, and I
want to congratulate you on an entertaining and well-produced book.
