When lifelong smoker Jean Connor died of lung cancer in 1995 at age forty-nine, her family brought a wrongful death suit against cigarette manufacturer R.J. Reynolds, arguing that Connor had been "lured into smoking" as a teenager by glamorous tobacco advertisements and was heavily addicted before cigarette warning labels made their appearance.

"The government, the media, HMOs, and individual Americans have all embraced programs to promote disease prevention. Yet obesity is up, exercise is down, teenagers continue to smoke, and sexually transmitted disease is rampant. Why? These essays examine the ethical and social problems that create subtle obstacles to changing Americans' unhealthy behavior." "The contributors raise profound questions about the role of the state or employers in trying to change health-related behavior, about the actual health and economic benefits of even trying, and about the freedom and responsibility of those of us who, as citizens, will be the target of such efforts."--Jacket.
