Dying for a Smoke

Dying for a Smoke draws the battle lines in one of the seminal issues in American life. On one side is the U.S. tobacco industry, led by corporate titans Phillip Morris and RJR/Nabisco, who will stop at nothing to protect an estimated $100 billion in domestic sales annually. On the other side is a formidable anti-smoking lobby led by the American Lung Association and the F.D.A. with a clear cut mandate to expose the terrifying truth; tobacco kills 419,000 Americans every year.
