Cigarettes: Anatomy of an Industry from Seed to Smoke (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781565847439)

Cigarettes chronicles the controversies of a 350 billion dollar industry, telling the fast-paced business story of cigarettes--from seed to smoke--that surprises as it entertains. In a book Publishers Weekly calls "an absorbing and informative history of cigarettes," Parker-Pope provides "up-to-date coverage of the recent tobacco industry litigation [that] is not only concise and accessible, but illuminating." The author, who follows the tobacco industry for the Wall Street Journal, offers a unique spin on a much-covered topic, examining the commercial aspect of an industry that became the biggest business success story of the twentieth century.
