Overview

"This work includes clear and accurate information about smoking and its effects. This no-nonsense look at smoking provides all the information young readers need to choose whether or not to try their first cigarette. ""Smoking 101"" objectively examines the anatomy of a cigarette, the physical effects of smoking - not only to smokers, but also to those breathing second-hand smoke - and tobacco companies, looking closely at the techniques they use in advertising. Respected science author Margaret O. Hyde and Yale University School of Medicine physician John F. Setaro look at smoking among young people and offer the latest statistics and facts about teen smoking and why adults are smoking less. It also offers programs, techniques and a list of websites for organisations that can help young adults who want to break the habit."
