Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1. Tobacco in Industrializing America -- 2. Tobacco's New Deal -- 3. Cultivating the Grower -- 4. The Challenge of the Public Interest -- 5.

Summary: The story of tobacco's fortunes seems simple: science triumphed over addiction and profit. Yet the reality is more complicated-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 nonsmoker's rights.
