Ebook: Cigarette Nation: Business, Health, and Canadian Smokers, 1930-1975

A thought-provoking history of how Canadians became cigarette smokers and why the practice continued despite a proven link to cancer and illness.

Highlighting the prolific marketing and advertising practices that helped make smoking a staple of everyday life, Cigarette Nation explores socio-cultural aspects of cigarette use from the 1930s to the 1950s and recounts the views and actions of tobacco executives, government officials, and Canadian smokers as they responded to mounting evidence that cigarette use was harmful.
