Less-Hazardous Tobacco Use as a Treatment for the “Smoking and Health” Problem

  • Chapter
Research Advances in Alcohol and Drug Problems

Part of the book series: Research Advances in Alcohol and Drug Problems ((AADP,volume 8))

Abstract

The health care industry cares about tobacco use mainly because it causes death and disability in users and perhaps in their associates (e.g., U.S.D.H.E.W., 1979, U.S.D.H.H.S., 1982). The war against tobacco use is at root a war of messages and recommendations about conduct. Persuasion is important in this particular war on drugs because the product in question is neither illegal nor difficult to obtain.

Article Note

Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it.

It satisfies no normal need. I like it.

It makes you thin, it makes you lean,

It takes the hair right off your bean.

It’s the worst darn stuff I’ve ever seen.

I like it.

G. L. Hemminger, in Penn State Froth, 1915
