Phoenix, AZ, Oryx Press, 1999. 383 Index 389 The Encyclopedia of Smoking and Tobacco gathers a lot of information into one volume. Individuals, commerce, legal decisions, laws, historical information, and organizations are all considered. Entries vary from a few lines to pages. The Guide lists entries related to 22 major topics.
Many entries have references to information cited within the entry.
Although entries attempt to report and not be judgmental, the nature of the information makes this appear somewhat biased towards anti-smoking. There are many entries related to the historical and current anti-smoking climate. Pro-smoking organizations and information are included. The contributed essays in Appendix 1 are summaries of issues generally without references. Appendix 2 is an annotated list, with bibliography of the Surgeon General's Reports.
