The story of tobacco's fortunes seems simple: science triumphed over addiction and profit. Yet the reality is more complicated--and more political. Historically it was not just bad habits but also the state that lifted the tobacco industry. What brought about change was not medical advice but organized pressure: a movement for nonsmoker's rights.
