Description

Smoke Signals gathers 71 of Professor Simon Chapman’s authoritative, acerbic and often heretical essays written in newspapers, blogs and research journals across his 40-year career. They cover major developments and debates in tobacco control, public health ethics, cancer screening, gun control and panics about low risk agents like wi-fi, mobile phone towers and wind turbines. This collection is an essential guide to many key debates in contemporary public health. It will be invaluable to public health students and practitioners, while remaining compelling reading for all interested in health policy.


“When is Simon Chapman the academic, intellectual, self-appointed chief wowser of the nanny state gunna leave us alone?”

— Steve Price, Australian radio broadcaster

 

“His insane wibblings are worrying yes, but still bloody funny to read.”

—Dick Puddlecote, English blogger
