In recent years, tobacco politics has been a multi-layered issue fraught with significant legal, commercial, and public policy implications. From the outset, Martha A. Derthick’s Up in Smoke took a nuanced look at tobacco politics in a new era of "adversarial legalism" and the consequences, both intended and unintended, of the MSA (Master Settlement Agreement).
Now, with a brand new 3rd edition, the book returns to "ordinary politics" and the passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act which gave the FDA broad authority to regulate both the manufacture and marketing of tobacco products. Derthick shows our political institutions working as they should, even if slowly, with partisanship and interest group activity playing their part in putting restraints on cigarette smoking.

Testimonials
"I have used
Up in Smoke in my courses on American government, law and public policy, and interest group politics for years. It is clearly written, forcefully argued, and engaging, effortlessly shifting from big themes about American democracy and the risks of relying on courts to make policy to the nitty-gritty details of tobacco policy. Along the way, students are forced to reconsider standard accounts of the policy-making process and separation of powers and confront how policy emanates from complex interactions among diversely representative branches of government. It is, quite simply, the gold standard for classroom case studies."
- Jeb Barnes, University of Southern California"In this highly readable and provocative text, Derthick tells more than just the story of one industry's decades-long resistance to government regulation.
Up in Smoke is essential reading for those who study the influence of corporations and the role of litigation in the public policy process."
- Laurie T. Baulig, Franklin & Marshall College"Martha Derthick has done it again. Returning to the site of one of the biggest US public policy battles of the past half-century, she expertly dissects, analyzes, and explains the tobacco wars--with, in this new edition, a brilliant, concise account of how far we've come since the Master Settlement Agreement...and how far we have still to go."
- Rogan Kersh, Professor of Public Policy, NYU Wagner School
