BOOKS:

Nanny State, by David Harsanyi - The subtitle pretty much tells it all: "How Food Fascists, Teetotaling Do-Gooders, Priggish Moralists, and Other Boneheaded Bureaucrats Are Turning America Into a Nation of Children."  Described more:  "When did we lose our right to be lazy, unhealthy, and politically incorrect? The government, under pressure from the nanny minority, is twisting the public's arm into obedience. Playground police, food fascists, anti-porn crusaders—whether they're legislating morality or wellbeing—nannies are popping up all over America. In the name of health, safety, decency, and—shudder—good intentions, these ever-vigilant politicians and social activists are dictating what we eat, where we smoke, what we watch and read, and whom we marry."

Dissecting Antismokers' Brains, by Michael J. McFadden - Michael McFadden's groundbreaking handbook is a "must have" for anyone involved in or studying the smokers' rights movement   It provides insight into the forces and motivations driving Antismokers and examines the media-intensive techniques they've used to mold political opinion and action around this issue.  The book examines not only the internal psychologies of Antismoking Crusaders, but the psychological tricks and techniques they've used in their campaigns and public debates.  Finally, it provides some of the clearest scientific arguments in the literature while examining the exaggerations and realities of exposure to secondary smoke.

Civil Warriors - The author spent six years following the lawyer who made the tobacco industry pay. An article entitled "Coughing It Up" explains, according to the author,  "The litigation did not -- and was never intended to -- shut down the tobacco companies."  When one of this lawyer's partners left the firm and took the side of the tobacco companies, he explained, "That he didn't want the tobacco companies to go bankrupt, because 'it kills the goose, so to speak.'"
