Smoking : Who Has the Right? by Magda E. Schaler

What should our smoking policies be? This question offers a unique opportunity to explore conflicting political, economic, legal, and social perspectives on health, choice, and personal responsibility. While some view the tobacco industry as demonized by anti-smoking campaigns, others regard extensive regulation as the “only” option. Psychologist Jeffrey A. Schaler and health policy analyst Magda E. Schaler present the best arguments on the smoking debate to assist readers on both sides of the issue in forming their own conclusions about the “right to smoke” versus the widely asserted public health goal of a tobacco-free society.
