112 pp. | Mason Crest | October, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-1-4222-0231-9 $26.95
(4) YA Tobacco: The Deadly Drug series. With a fair amount of overlapping information, these books address less familiar tobacco-related issues, such as conflicting economic interests (tax revenue versus healthcare costs), fires, pollution, and secondhand smoke. The straightforward texts are accompanied by an onslaught of statistics and other facts and photos of teens and adults engaged in smoking. Hokey cartoon illustrations are distracting. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Tobacco: The Deadly Drug titles: Putting Out the Fire, Cash Crop to Cash Cow, and Burning Money.
