"I've read this book twice and it still amazes. The New York Timescondemned nicotine's 'disastrous effects' in 1879? Anti-tobacco campaigns aremore than a century old? Cigarettes were thought perilous because of their linkto sex? Cigarette Wars surprises, informs, and shakes convictions (or mine, atleast) in prose as lucid as it is engaging. It's a hell of a story."--PaulSolman, Economics Correspondent, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, "An entertaining account of a little-known episode in American cultural history, and a keen reminder that the ever-embattled cigarette has risen from its ashes more than once"--Kirkus Reviews, "This fine study...provides excellent perspective on a crucial era as background for today's battles."--Library Journal "In this original and engaging book, Cassandra Tate traces the first major anti-cigarette crusade--the battle of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries against the 'little white slaver'.Cigarette Warsoffers a fascinating and important narrative of the failure of this 'other' prohibition movement as Americans and their new consumer culture embraced the cigarette. As Tate so successfully demonstrates, the battle over smoking provides an excellent vehicle to understand central values in American society and culture."--Allan M. Brandt, Harvard University "Anyone interested in today's escalating political and legal battle in the long war against the cigarette will applaud Cassandra Tate's timelyCigarette Wars. At last, the first half-century of the bitter cultural war has its historian, or narrator, who has produced a book distinguished by graceful prose, vivid characters and events, and sure-footed judgement. This is narrative history at its best, a story whose lessons for today Tate draws together at the end.

Synopsis
We live in an age when the cigarette industry is under almost constant attack. Few weeks pass without yet another report on the hazards of smoking, or news of another anti-cigarette lawsuit, or more restrictions on cigarette sales, advertising, or use. It's somewhat surprising, then, that very little attention has been given to the fact that America has traveled down this road before.Until now, that is. As Cassandra Tate reports in this fascinating work of historical scholarship, between 1890 and 1930, fifteen states enacted laws to ban the sale, manufacture, possession, and/or use of cigarettes--and no fewer than twenty-two other states considered such legislation. In presenting the history of America's first conflicts with Big Tobacco, Tate draws on a wide range of newspapers, magazines, trade publications, rare pamphlets, and many other manuscripts culled from archives across the country. Her thorough and meticulously researched volume is also attractively illustrated with numerous photographs, posters, and cartoons from this bygone era.Readers will find in Cigarette Wars an engagingly written and well-told tale of the first anti-cigarette movement, dating from the Victorian Age to the Great Depression, when cigarettes were both legally restricted and socially stigmatized in America. Progressive reformers and religious fundamentalists came together to curb smoking, but their efforts collapsed during World War I, when millions of soldiers took up the habit and cigarettes began to be associated with freedom, modernity, and sophistication. Importantly, Tate also illustrates how supporters of the early anti-cigarette movement articulated virtually every issue that is still being debated about smoking today; theirs was not a failure of determination, she argues in these pages, but of timing.A compelling narrative about several clashing American traditions--old vs. young, rural vs. urban, and the late nineteenth vs. early twentieth centuries--this work will appeal to all who are interested in America's love-hate relationship with what Henry Ford once called "the little white slaver.", This is a meticulously researched, engagingly written history of the first anti-cigarette movement, dating from the Victorian Age to the Great Depression, when cigarettes were both legally restricted and socially stigmatized in America.
