A concise history of smoking in British popular culture from the
early nineteenth century to the present day.. Provides the
historical backdrop to the current debates about the politics of
tobacco and health, demonstrating that both pro- and anti-smokers
have consistently failed to understand the position of smoking
within popular culture.. Important themes explored include: the
importance of consumption to constructions of masculinity and
femininity, the role of the state in the official regulation of the
'minor vices', the morality of consumption and the position of
scientific knowledge within popular culture.. Traces the
production, promotion and consumption of tobacco as well as
outlining the arguments that have variously opposed this
ever-controversial drug.. Genuinely interdisciplinary, combining
elements of social, cultural and economic history whilst
contributing to debates in sociology and cultural studies, the
anthropology of material culture, design history, medical history
and public health policy. -- .
