The text centres on one of the most important public health issues worldwide, and a major determinant of preventable mortality and morbidity in developed and developing countriesRecords the outcomes of a long-term research collaboration that brings a geographical lens to smoking behaviourUncovers how geography can play a part in understanding not only why people smoke but also broader issues of tobacco controlProvides a deeper understanding of how smoking and tobacco is 'governed', regarding where people may smoke, but also more subtle governance as a climate is produced in which smoking becomes 'denormalised'Brings both quantitative and qualitative perspectives to bear on this major source of mortality and morbidity
