| Descricão e Informacões Adicionais | Preface to the Second Edition This second edition is a move to make available to the international community the thoughts, insights and recommendations of this work. The first edition was only in paper, there was no e-book edition. The first paper edition is now sold out. We think that it is time to have new edition, now also in e-book format.

For these reasons this book is still useful to researches and policy makers. Foreword For centuries humanity has lived with tobacco.

Today it is widely known that tobacco causes various types of cancer, heart diseases, respiratory diseases, pregnancy diseases and fetus deformities. On top of that, it has been reported that smoking is the leading cause of fire-related deaths and is respo |
