Show by Evan Axelbank
In this episode, we speak with author Sarah Milov about America's relationship with cigarettes. She wrote "The Cigarette: A Political History," which explores why they're still legal, how their sizable lobby operates and how the industry has battled the "non-smoker." Cigarettes kill many times more people than cars and guns, yet they still hold a sizable place in American life.
