Publisher: World Scientific Publishing

Publication Date: [2022]

Physical Description: xxii, 427 p. : ill. ; 24 cm

Subjects: Neoplasms - prevention & control; Smoking; Tobacco - adverse effects; Smoking - adverse effects

Abstract: "This book tells the fascinating story of the relationship of tobacco products to cancer, from the first discoveries to the present day cancer pandemic and regulatory activities. Although there are already excellent books and monographs on this topic, both in the popular press and as government summaries, none relate the scientific story at the level of non-specialist graduate and medical students, researchers, or educated popular science readers. In this book, the editors bring together 24 renowned experts on the subject of tobacco and cancer to summarize specific aspects of this critical topic in relatively non-technical terms while also incorporating some personal insights related to the story of the discovery process"-- Provided by publisher
