When tallying the costs of tobacco-use, we usually focus on the health effects of smoking: cancer, emphysema and such. But anthropologist Peter Benson, PhD, has focused his work on the health effects of growing and producing tobacco: specifically, the health problems suffered by migrant workers on tobacco farms.
