«Para el principiante fumar un cigarrillo es un acto simbólico: Ya no soy el nene de mamá, soy fuerte, soy un aventurero [...]. Cuando se desvanece la fuerza del simbolismo psicológico, empieza el control del efecto farmacológico para sostener el hábito». -Philip Morris (1969)Lo inesperado: las políticas antitabaco de un pequeño país al sur de América Latina encendieron las alarmas de las grandes empresas tabacaleras. En 2010, la poderosa Philip Morris puso en juego su arsenal de abogados en defensa de los intereses comerciales y demandó a Uruguay en una corte internacional. El juicio adquirió fama mundial. Se lo conoció como «la lucha de David contra Goliat».
Este libro cuenta esa historia, pero va más lejos. Sus páginas son un recorrido por algunos hitos culturales del cigarrillo. Hablan del placer y la dependencia de un objeto que forma parte de la memoria colectiva. También cuentan las historias de vida de hombres y mujeres que alzaron sus voces en defensa de la salud, en tensión permanente con una industria que vende ilusiones.
Con talento en la escritura y rigor en la investigación, Emiliano Zecca ofrece una mirada desde el periodismo narrativo, presentando hechos y protagonistas de modo tal que el lector pueda completar el puzzle desde su propia mirada. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Unexpectedly, the anti-smoking policies of a small South American country set off alarms at the big tobacco companies. In 2010, the industry giant Philip Morris deploys its legal team to defend its business interests, suing Uruguay in international court. The trial soon evolves into a notorious "David versus Goliath" struggle.
This book tells that story and much more. It is a look back at the culture of the cigarette, an object that holds a place in our collective memory as the source of pleasure and dependency. It is also the story of the many men and women who advocate for public health in an ongoing clash with an industry built on illusions.
A talented writer and researcher, Emiliano Zecca uses literary journalism as his medium to introduce facts and protagonists, encouraging readers to view the puzzle from their own perspective.

Very sturdy chew toy
Color: Bacon
My Frenchy loves it! He’s not a large dog, but big for a French Bulldog. (32 lbs). He chews both ends, but prefers the snout. The eyes are cute, but began to peel off within the first week. I easily removed what was peeling. Half of the paint remained intact. When necessary, I will definitely replace it with the same toy.

Great chew toy, long lasting
Color: Bacon
This chew toy has been amazing. We have had it for 2 months with 2 dogs chewy on it and it is still going strong. We have a large Golden who chews on everything and and German Shepherd. Big dogs who chew aggressively. Very impressed! Would definitely buy again!

Perfect for young pups who get bored easily!
Color: Bacon, Color: Bacon
Our pup recently turned 1 and gets bored very easily, so she’s always looking for something new to chew or play with. We got her this little alligator toy and she is OBSESSED with it! She carries it everywhere and plays with it constantly. I’m honestly surprised by how durable it’s been considering how much use it gets. If you want to help save your furniture and household items from becoming chew toys, do yourself a favor and grab this for your pup!

Extremely durable but too large for our Aussie
Color: Bacon -Blue
This toy is very solid and seems like it would hold up well for aggressive chewers, but it ended up being too large and heavy for our Australian Shepherd. He had trouble comfortably holding it in his mouth and wasn’t very interested in chewing on it because of the size and weight.
The quality itself seems good, but I would recommend it more for larger dogs with bigger jaws that enjoy heavier chew toys.
