Smoking Geographies provides a research-led assessment of the impact
of geographical factors on smoking. The contributors uncover how
geography can show us not only why people smoke but also broader issues
of tobacco control, providing deeper clarity on how smoking and tobacco
is 'governed'.
- The text centres on one of the most important public health issues
worldwide, and a major determinant of preventable mortality and
morbidity in developed and developing countries
- Records the outcomes of a long-term research collaboration that brings
a geographical lens to smoking behaviour
- Uncovers how geography can play a part in understanding not only why
people smoke but also broader issues of tobacco control
- Provides a deeper understanding of how smoking and tobacco is
'governed', regarding where people may smoke, but also more subtle
governance as a climate is produced in which smoking becomes
'denormalised'
- Brings both quantitative and qualitative perspectives to bear on this
major source of mortality and morbidity
