The Truth About Smoking
Knowledge is power. By possessing knowledge you have the ability to
make decisions, ask follow-up questions, or know where to go to
obtain more information. In the world of health that is power! That is
the purpose of this book—to provide you the power you need to obtain
unbiased, accurate information and The Truth About Smoking.
Topics in each volume of The Truth About are arranged in alphabetical order, from A to Z. Each of these entries defines its topic and
explains in detail the particular issue. At the end of most entries are
cross references to related topics. A list of all topics by letter can be
found in the table of contents or at the back of the book in the index.
How have these books been compiled? First, the publisher worked
with me to identify some of the country’s leading authorities on key
issues in health education. These individuals were asked to identify
some of the major concerns that young people have about such topics. The writers read the literature, spoke with health experts, and
incorporated their own life and professional experiences to pull
together the most up-to-date information on health issues, particularly
those of interest to adolescents and of concern in Healthy People 2010.
Throughout the alphabetical entries, the reader will find sidebars
that separate Fact from Fiction. There are Question-and-Answer boxes
that attempt to address the most common questions that youth ask
about sensitive topics. In addition, readers will find a special feature
called “Teens Speak”—case studies of teens with personal stories
related to the topic in hand.
This may be one of the most important books you will ever read.
Please share it with your friends, families, teachers, and classmates.
