My book, the cigarette a political history, seeks to understand tobacco in modern america, not through the lens of big tobacco in the machinations of industry, but through the efforts of Everyday Americans to get the government to intervene on their behalf. Big tobacco is still an important part of the story, but by focusing on other actors, farmers, government officials, politicians, activists, workers and labor unions, the story of tobacco in the 20th century begins to look a lot different than if we were to understand it through the actions of tobacco alone.

Like a big relief, you know, its been 10 years in the work to make this book and so it feels like a relief and its just a pleasure to be able to talk about it, to talk about it with you and tons of other interesting people. Really a page turner. Outland, the great medical scientific historian on the cigarette century. Robert proctor at stanford about the deception of the industry. Any trepidation when you started . You had three giant box out there, and you took a risk. Guest yes, but but i really feel as though with those three books, ashes to ashes, cigarette century and Robert Proctor whole corpus of work, the biggest of which is called golden holocaust, i i really feel as though i was standing on the shoulders of giants.

Over the last few days, we have been in contact with a lot of religious leaders throughout the state, both at the christian and jewish communities. And we want to discuss with them their plans for these upcoming events, both passover and easter. Our message is basically adhere to social distancing guidelines. I think what a lot of churches have done in terms of online services, some have even done outdoors for people to stay in their car. I think theyve been innovative, i think that will ultimately be something that matters a lot to people, but we also pointed out the risk of having a packed gathering right now, given what we are going through.
