Description
Smoke Screens: The Truth About Tobacco is a comprehensive analysis of the scientific evidence linking tobacco smoking to disease and premature death, as well as the political motivations behind the anti-smoking movement.
The book explores various aspects of tobacco smoking, including trends among social classes, detection bias, and the evidence linking smoking to specific diseases. It also examines how attitudes towards smoking have changed over time and why tobacco smoking has become widely regarded as a negative habit.
Through a balanced and objective approach, Smoke Screens challenges one of the most widely accepted beliefs of our time, making it a thought-provoking read for both smokers and non-smokers alike.
