内容説明

Smoking is the major preventable source of premature death in the Western world. This volume considers some of the key questions surrounding the smoking habit: why do people maintain the habit? How does smoking effect our physiology and biochemistry, brain activity, or variation in mood? Is there objective evidence of the effects of smoking on human performance? Is smoking an addiction? What are the dangers to health of passive or secondary smoking? How successful are large scale programmes for prevention and cessation? The contributors to this book, all of whom are recognized authorities in the field of smoking and human behaviour, address these questions, many of which are controversial. Aiming to provide a balanced and critical view of theories of smoking and research into the effects of smoking on human behaviour, this text should be of interest to researchers in psychology and psychophysiology, pharmacologists and health workers concerned with effects of passive smoking on health - and perhaps even smokers themselves.
