The Cigarette: A Political History

The Cigarette: A Political History

The story of tobaccoâ€™s fortunes seems simple: science triumphed over addiction and profit. Yet the reality is more complicatedâ€”and more political. Historically it was not just bad habits but also the state that lifted the tobacco industry. What brought about change was not medical advice but organized pressure: a movement for nonsmokerâ€™s rights.
