Publisher's Synopsis
Tobacco use causes over 440,000 premature deaths every year in the US. Smoke Damage puts a human face on America's most profitable and most preventable epidemic. Through interviews and photographs, sociologist Michael Schwalbe takes readers beyond the usual statistics and shows the real people-disease survivors, "tobacco widows", educators, activists, legislators, lawyers, researchers, and farmers-on the front lines of America's ongoing tobacco wars.
