The American cigarette industry is again facing enormous pressure from various groups whose goal is a "smoke free" society. What differentiates this present wave from the previous two waves of regulation faced by the cigarette industry is the severity with which these measures are applied by the state and local government who are enacting anti-smoking laws and regulations and increased excise taxes. Cigarette taxes are a lucrative revenue for the states, which they must ultimately trade-off with their stated goals of deterring smoking. Frequently, in spite of the needs of public health, states find themselves competing with one another for these excise tax revenues and cigarette sales, making them the primary point of challenge for the cigarette industry.

This historical analysis of advertisements explores the transformation of American society from 1865 to the 1920s, and the role that advertising played in turning America into a consumerist society. Focusing on national magazines and popular journals, Norris traces the way ads changed from simple sources of information to defining the image of the American dream. The book considers the role that advertising played in developing a national market for consumer goods, how it created demand for mass-produced items, and the contribution it made to the shifting consumption habits of Americans.
