Take the tobacco plant apart: its natural history, its taste and smell, its chemistry, its effects on the body. McAllister's dissertation examines the habitual use of tobacco point by point, then answers the practical questions readers kept asking. A careful early study of a plant millions used and few truly understood. A thorough look at what tobacco really does.
