Excellent and Thorough survey
|
| Fantastic job of tracing the roots of the cigarette industry to its "high water" mark in the 1950s, and then a thorough explanation of how it managed to survive and even thrive in some respects in the past fifty years. You can guess the author's opinion, but it is an opinion he came to after a complete survey of the evidence, which is as human beings what we should aspire to, eh? Appropriate use of numbers/statistics - does not get bogged down by overloading the book with charts and causal equations. Good final chapter on the intersection of American capitalism, globalization, public health and the cigarette industry. Recommended for both medical/public health officials and the general public. |
