This title discusses the phenomenon of smoking as a behavioural
disease and the associated costs. The author details the
consequences of smoking, in addition to the detrimental effects
caused by second-hand tobacco smoke exposure as a health risk to
children as well as to the general public. The central contribution
of Joshua's work is to address these concerns in terms of the
issues of free choice and the market. Considering the various
restrictive policies designed to reduce smoking's prevalence,
including the banning of smoking in public places, and the
inclusion of warning labels on cigarette packets, Joshua carefully
analyses potential economic remedies to the problem of smoking,
notably the Pigovian tax. Finally, the book concludes with a highly
relevant discussion of corporate social responsibility, and the
role that this might play in anti-smoking projects. This is the
first title in a four volume series 'The Economics of Addictive
Behaviours', which consists of three further volumes on alcohol
abuse, illicit drug abuse and overeating.
