Résumé :
Since the first publication of The Tobacco Atlas a decade ago, almost 50 million additional people have been killed as a result of using tobacco, and more than 43 trillion cigarettes have been smoked. If trends continue, 1 billion people will die from tobacco use in the 21st century.
Mere lists of statistics cannot fully express the immensity of the tobacco epidemic. To understand its complexity and global reach requires an all-encompassing view that is compelling and easily comprehensible, such as that presented here in The Tobacco Atlas, Fourth Edition.
Ten years ago, the groundbreaking first edition of The Tobacco Atlas appeared as the world prepared to take unified action against tobacco. Since then, clean air laws, advertising bans, tobacco taxes, and the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control have altered the landscape, proving it was possible to defy the industry and reduce tobacco use if strategies were properly applied.
This all-new fourth edition expands upon the qualities that made the original an essential tool for understanding the tobacco epidemic. Full-color maps and striking graphics present carefully researched and sourced data in a clear, accessible format. Produced by a global collaboration of scientists and researchers, this easy-to-understand compendium of facts provides a compelling survey of the tobacco trade and its financial and human costs - and what can be done to avert a global health catastrophe.
