A Century of Tobacco & Smoking — Arlene Hirschfelder

Shake up and educate your students with thought-provoking, hands-on documents and photographs detailing the history and horrors of smoking and tobacco. This Jackdaw relates tobacco history in the U.S. from the 1870s to 1997. Marketing strategies of the tobacco industry, the inconsistent stands of the government, environmental tobacco smoke, and tobacco control movements are documented. The long history of the anti-tobacco movements and the grim evidence of tobaccos addictiveness provide a basis for serious class discussion.
