DESCRIPTION:
An esteemed psychiatrist, researcher, and academic, he has published in the New England Journal of Medicine and other top-flight medical journals, and presented his findings on tobacco addiction and industry profiteers to the American Public Health Association. Michael Rabinoff, D.O., Ph.D., has spent over a decade researching and writing about the devastating affects of tobacco on our health and economy.
"Stop the World Photocopy the Next One" according to Merrell Williams. Why not just imagine that there isn't a new generation that devolves every ten months to get into the pitched battle of the issue of tobacco, and, having done that, imagine also that it is not highly likely or probable that something new and interesting will come out of that which has not already been worn by every bookwriting tramp who can finger a computer and get it to squeel? I can't imagine the time when, in such vast quantities of unwritten dribble, drips and contrivances,that this will ever end. I'm the first person ever to be the so-called "toba. Reader Avid Reader Lorene I appreciated this reader-friendly book on how smoking affects us all. This is the definitive book on smoking where you can find a wealth of information in one place. It is informative about the toxic chemicals added to cigarettes, the deceitful marketing tactics of the tobacco industry; the health hazards of smoking to the smoker, the non-smoker and even to our pets and important methods for smoking cessation. I also found the personal stories scattered throughout the book to be very compelling. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to stop needles

Michael Rabinoff, a respected psychiatrist who holds two patents and has published repeatedly in the New England Journal of Medicine and other top-flight journals, shows the health and financial suicide we commit by allowing tobacco companies to continue doing business as usual-and, like any good doctor, provides a detailed prescription for what to do about it: simple actions you can take to save the lives of millions around the world.. Each and every pack of cigarettes costs American taxpayers $40 in higher medical premiums, unavailability of health services, and other hidden financial drains. Dr. Every day, at least 1,191 Americans die before their time. Every three days, as many citizens die from their own smoking habit, or from exposure to second-hand smoke, as died in the Sept 11 tragedy. And every year, 925 out of every 1,000 smokers who try to quit on their own fail to stay smoke-free for a year-while hundreds of thousands of children become addicted to nicotine
All rights reserved. The evidence Rabinoff amasses is overwhelming, making this recommended reading for anyone who wants to quit. . For aspiring nonsmokers, there are reasons to quit on nearly every page, whether political (e.g., collusion between the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries; how cigarettes are pushed to children overseas) or scientific (how cigarettes are chemically altered to heighten addiction, and the causality between smoking and mental illness). Smokers may feel browbeaten by Rabinoff's sometimes hyperbolic writing style. $25,000 marketing budget.(Mar.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
