To this day, while we know smoking is harmful, we still send hundreds of mixed messages to our teens about it. Lead characters in books, movies, and shows are all portrayed as smokers, while otherwise making sound decisions. This collection of essays across four chapters debates the issues relating to smoking and tobacco use. Readers will explore tobacco's harm to human health, how tobacco use can be reduced, whether the F.D.A. should regulate tobacco, and how the media impact an individuals' choices to smoke or not smoke.
