Excerpt from The Tobacco Problem In bringing out the present edition of The Tobacco Problem, I desire to say that, while I have taken tobacco for my text, I have included all other narcotics, especially those used, at first, under medical prescription and continued until the servant becomes, not only a master, but a tyrant. I wish also to acknowledge the great kindness with which my book has been received, even by many devotees of the weed. I had hardly expected such a degree of sufferance. It is true that, out spoken as I have been, I have set down naught in malice, and have aimed to avoid unfair and nuwar ranted statements. Yet I am aware that it is well nigh impossible for one with strong convictions as to the use Of narcotics, to write a treatise on the subject which will not seem, perhaps to a large class, unreasonable and extravagant, if not absurd. Judging from the indications, the majority in Church and State are against me. Again and again have I been told that I injure the cause by demanding too much; that it is the abuse and not the proper use Of tobacco against which I should direct my efforts.

Excerpt from The Tobacco Situation Cigarette output at h02 billion in l95h was 7 percent lower than in 1953 and nearly 0 percent below the record 1952 level. Domestic con sumption, as indicated by tax-paid removals, accounted for almost 92 per cent of the output. The remaining 8 percent was in the tax-free cate gory which went mainly to overseas forces and as commercial exports to foreign countries. The 195h domestic consumption at 369 billion was 5-7 percent lower than in 1953 and the tax-free category at 33 billion declined percent. Private estimates indicate that over 28 percent of the domestically consumed cigarettes were king size, non-filter tips an increase of AS percent since 1952. Also, these estimates indicated that filter tip cigarettes (both regular and king size) accounted for about 10 percent of the total domestic consumption-about seven times as many as in 1952.

The nation has made tremendous progress in reducing tobacco use during the past 40 years. Despite extensive knowledge about successful interventions, however, approximately one-quarter of American adults still smoke. Tobacco-related illnesses and death place a huge burden on our society. Ending the Tobacco Problem generates a blueprint for the nation in the struggle to reduce tobacco use. The report reviews effective prevention and treatment interventions and considers a set of new tobacco control policies for adoption by federal and state governments. Carefully constructed with two distinct parts, the book first provides background information on the history and nature of tobacco use, developing the context for the policy blueprint proposed in the second half of the report. The report documents the extraordinary growth of tobacco use during the first half of the 20th century as well as its subsequent reversal in the mid-1960s (in the wake of findings from the Surgeon General). It also reviews the addictive properties of nicotine, delving into the factors that make it so difficult for people to quit and examines recent trends in tobacco use. In addition, an overview of the development of governmental and nongovernmental tobacco control efforts is provided. After reviewing the ethical grounding of tobacco control, the second half of the book sets forth to present a blueprint for ending the tobacco problem. The book offers broad-reaching recommendations targeting federal, state, local, nonprofit and for-profit entities. This book also identifies the benefits to society when fully implementing effective tobacco control interventions and policies.

Excerpt from The Tobacco Situation: February 1953 The 1952 consumption of cigarettes per capita (15 years and over) in the United States and by overseas forces is estimated at -h per cent above 1951, nearly 13 percent above the l9ho-50 average and 116 per cent above the 1936-to average. Over the past several years, these increases have come about due to more people smoking and an average of more cigarettes consumed per smoker. The actual number of men and women who smoke cigarettes is not known, but the proportion of women smoking has increased during the past 15 or 20 years. The total number of people, 15 years and over, in the last several years has not increased at as high a rate as total United States population. This reflects the lower rate of births in the 1930's than in the early 19h0's and the postwar years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Tobacco Situation, Vol. 31: January 1945 The over - all consumption of tobacco products in this country is con tinning at an exceptionally high rate, although it appears to have reached a peak for the war period. The tobacco industry is now experiencing serious difficulties in further expanding_production, a situation which may continue to prevail as long as the war in Eunope continues. In the case of cigarettes which account for a large proportion of the total production and consumption of tobacco products, it is believed that production cannot be materially increased unless more labor and machinery, and, in some instances more leaf tobacco, are made available to manufacturers The over-all stocks of leaf tobacco appear adequate to maintain the present high level of cigarette production. Supplies of some manufacturers however, appear to be low. The increase in over-all production of tobacco préducts since the beginning of the war is largely in cigarettes, since smoking tobacco and cigars have declined.

Excerpt from Merchants of Death: The American Tobacco Industry During my time as surgeon general, I've been given many complex assignments - the Baby Doe issue, organ transplants, care for the aged, and now aids. But one issue was waiting for me when I arrived in this position, and it's been part of my daily agenda for the past seven years. That issue is smoking. During all this time, I've been in the forefront of the campaign to educate all Americans about the dangers of using tobacco. At first, I had the assignment because it belonged to my office. But now, after being immersed in the data for a number of years, and after closely observing just how the tobacco industry works, I feel a personal responsibility to continue working on this issue.
