Recommended Readings
Blum A (ed): The Cigarette Underworld. Secaucus, NJ, Lyle Stuart, 1985. This book was published as a second printing of the December 1983 issue of the New York State Journal of Medicine (Vol. 83, No. 13), the first medical journal ever to devote an entire issue to a consideration of the world tobacco pandemic. Rather than a discussion of the adverse health effects associated with smoking, this book focuses on the social and political history of the leading cause of death in the twentieth century, namely, the tobacco industry.
Smith S, Smith J (eds): Medical Activism: DOC’s Approach to Countering the Tobacco Pandemic. Houston, Tex, DOC (Doctors Ought to Care), 1992. Outlined in this guide is a blueprint for health professionals to become more active in counteracting tobacco use and promotion. Strategies designed for the clinic, classroom, and community are highlighted, and successful examples are shared.
Wolinsky H, Brune T: The Serpent on the Staff: The Unhealthy Politics of the American Medical Association. New York, Tarcher/Purman, 1995. This book provides an inside look at some of the policies developed within the American Medical Association, whose political intentions often conflict with the organization’s stated public health mission.
