Talking Tobacco

«‘Talking Tobacco’ is a ‘must-have’ for those interested in examining the communicative underpinnings of tobacco-related messages. Esrock, Walker, and Hart have assembled an impressive collection of contributors representing diverse expertise across the area. This edited volume addresses a void in the literature by examining messages from individuals, organizations, and media outlets on tobacco use and smoking to contribute to a deeper understanding of their impact on various stakeholders. Its approach is unique, as it seeks to understand these messages from a truly communicative perspective, highlighting the relational, social, and cultural issues that surround tobacco use. ‘Talking Tobacco’ is an invaluable resource to graduate students just beginning their research on this topic and seasoned researchers and practitioners alike.» (Melanie Morgan, Associate Professor, Brian Lamb School of Communication, Purdue University)
