In Clearing the Air, Gregory Wood examines smoking's importance to the social and cultural history of working people in the twentieth-century United States. Now that most workplaces in the United States are smoke-free, it may be difficult to imagine the influence that nicotine addiction once had on the politics of worker resistance, workplace management, occupational health, vice, moral reform, grassroots activism, and the labor movement. The experiences, social relations, demands, and disputes that accompanied smoking in the workplace in turn shaped the histories of antismoking politics and tobacco control.The steady expansion of cigarette smoking among men, women, and children during the first half of the twentieth century brought working people into sustained conflict with managers' demands for diligent attention to labor processes and work rules. Addiction to nicotine led smokers to resist and challenge policies that coldly stood between them and the cigarettes they craved. Wood argues that workers' varying abilities to smoke on the job stemmed from the success or failure of sustained opposition to employer policies that restricted or banned smoking. During World War II, workers in defense industries, for example, struck against workplace smoking bans. By the 1970s, opponents of smoking in workplaces began to organize, and changing medical knowledge and dwindling union power contributed further to the downfall of workplace smoking. The demise of the ability to smoke on the job over the past four decades serves as an important indicator of how the power of workers' influence in labor-management relations has dwindled over the same period.

How has the tobacco control movement become such a significant force in shaping contemporary public policy, social norms, and the habits of millions of Americans?

Tobacco Capitalism tells the story of the people who live and work on U.S. tobacco farms at a time when the global tobacco industry is undergoing profound changes. Against the backdrop of the antitobacco movement, the globalization and industrialization of agriculture, and intense debates over immigration, Peter Benson draws on years of field research to examine the moral and financial struggles of growers, the difficult conditions that affect Mexican migrant workers, and the complex politics of citizenship and economic decline in communities dependent on this most harmful commodity. Benson tracks the development of tobacco farming since the plantation slavery period and the formation of a powerful tobacco industry presence in North Carolina. In recent decades, tobacco companies that sent farms into crisis by aggressively switching to cheaper foreign leaf have coached growers to blame the state, public health, and aggrieved racial minorities for financial hardship and feelings of vilification. Economic globalization has exacerbated social and racial tensions in North Carolina, but the corporations that benefit have rarely been considered a key cause of harm and instability, and have now adopted social-responsibility platforms to elide liability for smoking disease. Parsing the nuances of history, power, and politics in rural America, Benson explores the cultural and ethical ambiguities of tobacco farming and offers concrete recommendations for the tobacco-control movement in the United States and worldwide.

Medisch onderzoek bewijst zwart op wit dat passief roken of meeroken schadelijk is voor de gezondheid. Maar wat is het juridische perspectief? De wet verbiedt roken in alle gesloten, openbare ruimtes en op het werk. Maar het wettelijk rookverbod kent wel zijn beperkingen. Zo geldt het bijvoorbeeld niet voor een supporter in een voetbalstadion, een poetshulp die in een thuisomgeving werkt, een minderjarig kind in de wagen van zijn ouders, een cipier of medegevangene in een gevangenis of een appartementsbewoner die naast een kettingroker woont.Tweeëntwintig onderzoekers van de rechtsfaculteit van de KU Leuven onderwierpen passief roken voor het eerst aan een allesomvattend juridisch onderzoek, in opdracht van Kom op tegen Kanker. Is het mogelijk of onmogelijk om een uitbreiding van het rookverbod af te dwingen via bestaande juridische instrumenten? Of is de ontwikkeling van een nieuw juridisch instrumentarium mogelijk en wenselijk? Die vraag krijgt een antwoord vanuit diverse juridische specialismen: de mensenrechten, de grondrechten en het anti-discriminatierecht, het gezondheidsrecht, de kinderrechten en het jeugdrecht, het familierecht, het strafrecht, het aansprakelijkheidsrecht, het contractenrecht, het arbeidsrecht, de (jeugd)criminologie en het economisch consumentenrecht. De auteurs passen de resultaten toe op concrete casussen en formuleren aanbevelingen voor wetgever en rechtspraktijk, rechtsleer, overheid, belangenverenigingen, contractspartijen en private instellingen, zorgverleners en werkgevers. Net daarom is dit boek verplichte lectuur, niet alleen voor juristen, maar voor ieder die ijvert voor een rookvrije leef- en werkomgeving.
