Summary

Nicotine, the addictive element in tobacco, is a very powerful mind-altering and body-altering drug. This book covers tobacco's history from its European debut in the 1500's to the tobacco industry lawsuits of the last decade; how nicotine affects body and mind; health risks; quitting or never starting; teen issues; and the complex governmental, legal, and social issues surrounding this very potent drug.
