History focusing on the dynamics of growing tobacco (as a complement to The Cigarette Century, a book that is far more focused on selling cigarettes). Unsurprisingly there are huge racial dynamics at play, including the infuriating details about racial discrimination in allocation of growing quotas in the New Deal. I had forgotten/perhaps never really known how long tobacco growing subsidies lasted even as the consensus on the health dangers of smoking lasted. Also really interesting discussion of how the antismoking movement was led by educated white women and took on NIMBY aspects, as well as leveraging “rights talk” pioneered by other movements to assert a right to smoke-free spaces.

The Cigarette: A Political History offers a fresh interpretation of tobacco's role in the twentieth century. It argues that tobacco played a vital and emblematic role in the history of twentieth century political economy. Far from being unregulated, tobacco was the most controlled and supported commodity produced in the United States during the twentieth century. The federal tobacco program was remarkably long lived, lasting nearly seven decades and ending only in 2004. By the 1960s, criticisms of the Tobacco industry and its state support were ubiquitous. Under the banner of "non-smokers' rights," by the mid-1970s activists began to rack up an impressive string of victories in curtailing public smoking at the local and state levels. By the final decades of the twentieth century, debates over tobacco were waged primarily on the terrain of its social cost. By placing tobacco at the center of American political economy, The Cigarette: A Political History joins the politics of the body to the American body politic.
