Description

This scholarly work examines tobacco's profound impact on Russian society from the seventeenth century to the present day, exploring how smoking has shaped cultural practices, public health crises, and national identity. The book addresses Russia's alarming smoking statistics, where the WHO reports approximately 70 percent of men and 30 percent of women smoke, contributing to over 280,000 annual deaths from smoking-related illnesses - more than triple the global average. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the author investigates tobacco's role in Russian culture, connecting historical patterns to contemporary demographic challenges that have prompted government and academic interest in understanding the roots of the nation's health crisis. Essential reading for historians, public health professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of substance use, cultural tradition, and modern policy responses in Russia.
