Around-the-clock tobacco talks, multibillion-dollar lawsuits against the major cigarette companies, and legislative wrangling over how much to tax a pack of cigarettes--these are some of the most recent episodes in the war against the tobacco companies. The Cigarette Papers shows what started it all: revelations that tobacco companies had long known the grave dangers of smoking, and did nothing about it.In May 1994 a box containing 4,000 pages of internal tobacco industry documents arrived at the office of Professor Stanton Glantz at the University of California, San Francisco. The anonymous source of these "cigarette papers" was identified only as "Mr. Butts." These documents provide a shocking inside account of the activities of one tobacco company, Brown & Williamson, over more than thirty years. Quoting extensively from the documents themselves and analyzing what they reveal, The Cigarette Papers shows what the tobacco companies have known and galvanizes us to take action.

Aimed directly at everyone who is sick of self-help books and fancy diets, The Easy Way to Start Smoking is a refreshing and caustically funny read. With Thurberian wit and the peculiar satire of The Simpsons, George Cockerill and David Owen urge their readers to start smoking, encourage them when they feel like giving up, and promise great joy at the end of the three-pack-a-day road. They teach postures for smoking and eighteen different ways to offer a cigarette to a fellow smoker. For those amateur smokers who keep forgetting to light up, they instill discipline and responsibility through an elaborate system of jolting alarms. The Easy Way to Start Smoking will charm anyone who has ever wondered if smoking will make them cooler (it will) or provide more opportunities to dip out of work for some sunshine (certainly) or what it would be like to be ruled by the desire to stick a cigarette in their mouth every ten minutes.

The American cigarette industry is again facing enormous pressure from various groups whose goal is a "smoke free" society. What differentiates this present wave from the previous two waves of regulation faced by the cigarette industry is the severity with which these measures are applied by the state and local government who are enacting anti-smoking laws and regulations and increased excise taxes. Cigarette taxes are a lucrative revenue for the states, which they must ultimately trade-off with their stated goals of deterring smoking. Frequently, in spite of the needs of public health, states find themselves competing with one another for these excise tax revenues and cigarette sales, making them the primary point of challenge for the cigarette industry.
