Product Information

This is a meticulously researched, engagingly written history of the first anti-cigarette movement, dating from the Victorian Age to the Great Depression, when cigarettes were both legally restricted and socially stigmatized in America. Progressive reformers and religious fundamentalists came together to curb smoking, but their efforts collapsed during the First World War, when millions of soldiers took up the habit and cigarettes began to be associated with freedom and modernity. Cassandra Tate compellingly shows how supporters of the early anti-cigarette movement articulated virtually every issue that is still being debated about smoking today; theirs was not a failure of determination, she argues in these pages, but of timing.

"I've read this book twice and it still amazes. The New York Timescondemned nicotine's 'disastrous effects' in 1879? Anti-tobacco campaigns aremore than a century old? Cigarettes were thought perilous because of their linkto sex? Cigarette Wars surprises, informs, and shakes convictions (or mine, atleast) in prose as lucid as it is engaging. It's a hell of a story."--PaulSolman, Economics Correspondent, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, "This fine study...provides excellent perspective on a crucial era as background for today's battles."--Library Journal "In this original and engaging book, Cassandra Tate traces the first major anti-cigarette crusade--the battle of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries against the 'little white slaver'.Cigarette Warsoffers a fascinating and important narrative of the failure of this 'other' prohibition movement as Americans and their new consumer culture embraced the cigarette. As Tate so successfully demonstrates, the battle over smoking provides an excellent vehicle to understand central values in American society and culture."--Allan M. Brandt, Harvard University "Anyone interested in today's escalating political and legal battle in the long war against the cigarette will applaud Cassandra Tate's timelyCigarette Wars. At last, the first half-century of the bitter cultural war has its historian, or narrator, who has produced a book distinguished by graceful prose, vivid characters and events, and sure-footed judgement. This is narrative history at its best, a story whose lessons for today Tate draws together at the end. Warriors Koop and Kessler, meet Lucy Page Gaston, and the zeal-deflating powers of historical perspective."--Otis L. Graham, Jr., University of North Carolina at Wilmington "Cassandra Tate has written an engaging, thorough, and illuminating account of early efforts to stamp out cigarettes in America.Cigarette Warslends much-needed historical perspective to the ongoing controversy over smoking."--Jacob Sullum, author ofFor Your Own Good: The Anti-Smoking Crusade andthe Tyranny of Public Health "I've read this book twice and it still amazes.The New York Timescondemned nicotine's 'disastrous effects' in 1879?
