Twelve papers expose the ways cigarette ads trick young people by downplaying the dangers of tobacco use. Contributors discuss the risks of smoking, smokers' later regrets, the nature of addiction, the influence of advertising, and smokers' beliefs in their own immunity. Chapters focus on adolescents' and adults' perceptions of risk, media influence, addiction, and legal and policy matters. Appendixes feature surveys of youth perception of tobacco risk, and casual modeling methodology. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
