Up in Smoke

More about the book

The plot follows two young doctors who uncover a disturbing connection between a surge of teen deaths and a network of cheap, illegal cigarettes. Their attempts to address the crisis are thwarted by government officials who are reluctant to act against the operation due to the influence of its wealthy Native American owner. This tension highlights themes of corruption, the struggle for justice, and the challenges faced by those trying to protect public health against powerful interests.
