[from Pete Dako]
In addition to those books, once I'd gone through early withdrawal I
found books with more political focus about the tobacco industry really
motivated me to never start smoking again.
Specifically: Merchants of Death: The American Tobacco Industry, 1988 by
Larry C. White
The Cigarette Underworld, 1985, edited by Alan Blum M.D.
Gilded Leaf : Triumph, Tragedy, and Tobacco : Three Generations of the R J
Reynolds Family and Fortune by Patrick Reynolds, Tom Shachtman, 1989
Smokescreen : The Truth Behind the Tobacco Industry Cover-Up by Philip J.
Hilts. 1996.
