Up In Smoke From: Legislation To Litigation In Tobacco Politics -3rd Edition (Paperback, Used)

Summary by Martha A. Derthick

In recent years, tobacco politics has been a multi-layered issue fraught with significant legal, commercial, and public policy implications. From the outset, Martha A. Derthick’s Up in Smoke took a nuanced look at tobacco politics in a new era of “adversarial legalism” and the consequences, both intended and unintended, of the MSA (Master Settlement Agreement).

Dealing with the politics surrounding smoking in the United States, this 3rd edition returns to “ordinary politics” and the passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act which gave the FDA broad authority to regulate both the manufacture and marketing of tobacco products.
