Abstract

Anthropology of Tobacco explores the cultural, social, and historical significance of tobacco as a global commodity. The book positions tobacco not merely as a passive product but as an influential entity in public health, corporate dynamics, and human relations. Drawing from diverse disciplines, it examines the impact of tobacco across various cultures and time periods. The author, Andrew Russell, combines empirical research with contemporary theories to provide new insights into tobacco's pervasive influence. This work is aimed at students, scholars, and practitioners in anthropology, public health, and social policy, offering a comprehensive perspective on tobacco-human interactions and the implications of a tobacco-free future.

Abstract

This collection of essays looks at the role the European Union could and should play in promoting healthier lifestyle, in light of the moral, philosophical, legal and political challenges associated with the regulation of individual choices. By tackling the main non-communicable diseases (NCD) risk factors (tobacco consumption, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diets and lack of physical activity), the contributors endeavour to identify common themes and determine whether and, if so, to what extent the lessons learned in relation to each area of EU intervention could be transposed to the others. By focusing on the European Union legal order, the book highlights both the opportunities that legal instruments offer for NCD prevention and control agenda in Europe, as well as the constraints that the law imposes on policy-makers.

Abstract

This book describes the history of tobacco genomics, from its “discovery” by Europeans to next-generation omics approaches in plant science. The authors primarily focus on the allotetraploid common tobacco plant (N. tabacum); however, separate chapters are dedicated to closely related Nicotiana species, such as N. benthamiana and N. attenuata, for which substantial progress in omics data analysis has been already achieved. While genetic maps, transcriptomes, and physical maps of BAC libraries have significantly enhanced our understanding of the tobacco plant, the genome of tobacco and related Nicotiana species has opened a new era in modern tobacco research. This book addresses current and future industrial and research applications as well as central challenges in tobacco science, including diseases, low variability of cultivars, the genome’s large size, polyploidy, and gene duplication.
