Tobacco in History and Culture: An Encyclopedia is a unique resource. It is a single
authoritative encyclopedia on every aspect of tobacco, one of the world’s most pervasive
substances. We expect this encyclopedia to be used by a wide variety of groups.
While it is a useful resource for high school and college curricula in courses on history,
business, health, and political science, it is also a scholarly resource for those
doing research related to tobacco and its history.
