Smoking tobacco presents serious social problems with major impacts
on public health. It is estimated that 25-30% of the general
population in western countries are currently smoking. Tobacco use
is the major preventable cause of death in the United States,
responsible for more than 400,000 deaths annually. Within the USA
and Europe, 70% of all smokers have tried to quit smoking at least
once, but only about 6% of these succeeded in maintaining
abstinence. This book covers the latest nicotine-related research.
The selection of chapters has a certain unity as physiologic,
pathologic and psychological themes run through the book and supply
the logical connections between the various authors. This work is
intended as a contribution to the reversal of the current tobacco
epidemic and thereby to preventing many of the deaths attributable
to tobacco predicted in this century.
