Description du livre
Arguably humanity's most deadly invention—responsible for 100 million deaths in the 20th century—the cigarette continues to kill. Half of all smokers die of a smoking-related illness, and more than a billion people currently smoke. "Cigarettes" tells the story of the tobacco industry's cynical efforts to impose this danger on as many people—or victims—as possible, with a single purpose in mind: shareholder profits. Always frank in delivering its meticulously-documented message, "Cigarettes" should make the tobacco industry tremble more than a nicotine-deprived smoker.
