Hot Issues series.
After identifying common drugs and tobacco products as well as their potential users, each book describes the physical, sociological, and psychological risks. Final chapters discuss ways to resist (Drug Abuse) and to quit (Smoking). Color photos, sidebars, experiences of real people (some famous), and clear writing make these easily accessible. Smoking includes a glossary, and both books append helpful resource lists. Bib., ind.

Need to Know Library series.
These books offer very basic definitions, descriptions, and treatments, as well as coping strategies for people with the conditions and those interacting with them. Breast Health presents more general information about maturing bodies, changing perceptions of female attractiveness, self-examination, and mammograms. Short vignettes add interest, but the photos are dull and add little information. Bib., glos., ind.
