"Overall, the book provides...a thorough background on smoking and nicotine. It is a valuable resource for future reference. Physicians will come away from reading the book armed with new facts and figures to relay to their patients and with a better understanding of what keeps smokers--even those who are already witnessing the health consequences of their addiction--smoking." --Raine Riggs, Dr John Hughes, Oncology Times
