Nicotine addiction is the single largest preventable cause of death in the United States, and is expected to cause the deaths of one in ten people alive today. This tape shows a presentation by media critic Dr. Jean Kilbourne at the University of Massach usetts at Amherst on the persuasive means by which cigarettes are marketed to the public, including children, originally titled "Addiction, Death & Profit". Produced by Sut Jhally; written by Kilbourne and Rick Pollay.
