Smoking and Illicit Drug Use is a collection of papers supporting the
premise that cigarette smoking is more than a bad habit: nicotine dependency
should be treated like any other drug dependency. The collection is edited by
Mark Gold, an American authority on addiction. Strictly for professional
readers, it is pretty heavy going—and a taste for neologism and idiom will
help. Published by Haworth Medical Press, $39.95, ISBN 0789005077.
