The sub-title pretty much sums up where this is going. My smoker bias aside, actually a very good book with a lot of inside dope (pun intended) on the tobacco industry, covering the congressional hearings into their practices back in the 90's. Yes nicotine is a drug. Smoking is harmful to your health over the long term. A very pleasant drug for me for about 45 years now. Thank you tobacco industry. I will probably die from either cancer or a heart attack as my parents did. Others will die from that or something else. People choose to smoke. They can make the choice not to. I know dozens who have quit smoking after years of doing so. Good for them. Back to the book. If the intent was to make me hate the tobacco industry, it failed. Shame on them for providing a product some people enjoy. Still a good read.
