New Book Explores Science Linking Smoking to Disease. Numerous Health Benefits Withheld from Public.
Smoke Screens: The Truth About Tobacco is a new, objectively researched book with no ties to the tobacco industry. Exploring the chemical additives in tobacco, social class and smoking habits, detection bias, cancer, asthma, emphysema, heart disease, low birth weight, government health warnings, benefits of smoking, pharmaceutical involvement and much more, this book is a must read.
London, United Kingdom, December 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- How did the anti-smoking movement begin and why has it grown so large?
Why are there only statistical links between tobacco consumption and disease?
Why were all the longest-living people smokers?
What interest does the pharmaceutical industry have in supporting the anti-smoking movement?
‘Smoke Screens: The Truth About Tobacco’ is the culmination of years of research into tobacco consumption. The book explores everything from the scientific links between smoking and illness to smoking trends between the social classes. It also examines fundamental issues such as detection bias and answers the pertinent question of ‘Why was there a surge in lung cancer rates in the 1930s?’
The book delves into the interests of the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer research organizations to determine whether they have vested interests in the ostracisation of smokers and, if so, where those interests lay. Including extracts from a variety of Surgeon General Reports and an anti-smoking magazine from 1917, ‘Smoke Screens: The Truth About Tobacco’ leaves no stone unturned and provides an encyclopedic view into one of the largest issues in society today. With global smoking bans now in place and the World Health Organisation declaring a global war against tobacco smoking, the book is timely and relevant. With over a billion smokers worldwide there is potential for this book to be a milestone in recent history.
