	Public Health Advocacy and Tobacco Control Simon Chapman is one of the world's leading advocates for tobacco control, having won the coveted Luther Terry and WHO medals. His experience straddles 30 years of activism, highly original research and analysis, having run advocacy training on every continent and editing the British Medical Journal's Tobacco Control research journal. In this often witty and personal book, he lays out a program for making smoking history. He eviscerates ineffective approaches, condemns overly enthusiastic policies which ignore important ethical principles, and provides a cookbook of strategy and tactics for denormalising smoking and the industry which promotes it. Public Health Advocacy and Tobacco Control is divided into two sections. The first contains chapters spanning such key topics as the place of advocacy in tobacco control, ethical issues, smoking cessation and prevention, harm reduction and product regulation and the denormalisation of smoking. The second section provides an invaluable A-Z of tobacco control advocacy strategy from Accuracy to Whistleblowers.

WarnerDean and Avedis Donabedian, Distinguished University Professor, School of Public Health, University of Michigan. 'Simon Chapman's analysis provides the road map of what needs to be done, how it needs to be done and that it needs to be done with a sense of urgency. It is a required reading for all those who want to make a difference in the lives of many, especially our children' - Jeffrey Wigand, MA, Ph.D., MAT, Sc.D. aka.

	Free Yourself From Smoking Unlike other 'quitting experts', Kristina Ivings recognises that giving up smoking requires a three-pronged attack. In addition to helping with psychological dependence on cigarettes - that is the belief that you need to smoke - she addresses physical withdrawal and the importance of habit - why do you crave a cigarette the moment you start to unwind after a hard day? She then moves on to a step-by-step guide to preparing to quit, quitting and staying quit - and warns you against the pitfalls that may lead you back again. If smoking really was a reliable, stress-relieving friend, everyone would be doing it. In Free Yourself from Smoking, smoking is represented by the character of Nitch, who nags you to go out in the rain to smoke, sends you into a panic if cigarettes run out, and makes you miserable whenever he is deprived of nicotine. You may believe that you enjoy or need cigarettes, but in reality all you are doing is placating this insatiable intruder. Once you have realised this, you are a long way along the road to ridding yourself of him. You don't have to be superhuman to quit. Freeing yourself from smoking the Kristina Ivings way can even be enjoyable. And, because you will never have to give up smoking again, Free Yourself from Smoking is the only stop-smoking book you'll ever need.

	Tobacco Use by Native North Americans Recently identified as a killer, tobacco has been the focus of health warnings, lawsuits, and political controversy. Yet many Native Americans continue to view tobacco -- when used properly -- as a life-affirming and sacramental substance that plays a significant role in Native creation myths and religious ceremonies. This definitive work presents the origins, history, and contemporary use (and misuse) of tobacco by Native Americans. It describes wild and domesticated tobacco species and how their cultivation and use may have led to the domestication of corn, potatoes, beans, and other food plants. It also analyzes many North American Indian practices and beliefs, including the concept that tobacco is so powerful and sacred that the spirits themselves are addicted to it. The book presents medical data revealing the increasing rates of commercial tobacco use by Native youth and the rising rates of death among Native American elders from lung cancer, heart disease, and other tobacco-related illnesses. Finally, this volume argues for the preservation of traditional tobacco use in a limited, sacramental manner while criticizing the use of commercial tobacco. Contributors are: Mary J. Adair, Karen R.

	The Enlightened Smoker's Guide to Quitting This revolutionary approach to smoking cessation is based on the premise that a smoker is more likely to kick the habit if he feels good about himself. When a smoker understands why he commenced smoking, and why smoking no longer delivers the same sense of pleasure and satisfaction it used to, the process of quitting begins. A state of mind called pleasurable forgetfulness makes the smoker less interested in smoking while absorbed in other activities. This proven but unorthodox method does not foster the shame and guilt so prevalent in other programs and succeeds where more traditional approaches have failed, producing smoke-free success for thousands of former smokers.
