IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE, ONE BILLION PEOPLE WILL DIE FROM TOBACCO USE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
Lists of statistics, impressive as they may be, do not fully express the immensity of the tobacco epidemic. To understand its complexity and global reach requires an all-encompassing view that is instantly comprehensible, such as that presented here in The Tobacco Atlas, Fourth Edition. This visually arresting,
Ten years ago, the groundbreaking first edition of The Tobacco Atlas appeared in a time when the world was first preparing to take concerted action against tobacco. Since then, smoking bans, advertising bans, tobacco taxes, and treaties such as the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control have altered the landscape, showing that it was indeed possible to defy the tobacco industry and reduce smoking rates if strategies were properly applied.
This all-new fourth edition expands upon the qualities that made the original such an essential tool for understanding the tobacco epidemic: Full-color maps and striking graphics present carefully researched and sourced data in a clear, accessible format.
Produced by a global collaboration of scientists and researchers, this easy-to-understand compendium of facts, issues and trends provides a compelling survey of the tobacco trade, its extent, its financial and human costs—and most importantly, what is being done and what could be done to avert a global health catastrophe.
“If there is anything you want to know about tobacco, you can find it in The Tobacco Atlas.”
