About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Praeger, 1971. 248pp. The author delves into all these questions- and more, besides. She writes about the tobacco-user's renewed interestin chewing tobacco and snuff- and devotes a chapter to the plight of tobacco farmers.". Susan Wagner's account of this wondrous land and of tobacco's place in American history and politics is instructive and ironic. 'Such is the stuff of the nicotian apocrypha,' she writes, that in the story of tobacco 'it is not always easy to distinguish between fact and fiction.' But she succeeds. Pulled together in this book are little-known facts about pre-Columbian tobacco use, an account of tobacco-growing in Virginia in 1784, and stories behind the nostalgic slogans of the 1920's, '30's, and '40's. A sharp, detailed analysis of the political battles of the 1960's and 1970's begins with the bombshell report of the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health and goes through the ban on cigarette advertising on TV that took effect in January, 1971..." . First Edition. Cloth. Very Good+/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
