SMOKED OUT

Humoristically talking about the dangers of tobacco in a crime novel is what French author Phil Marso promises to deliver, a unique feat in detective literature.

The original book “Passage à tabac” was published in 1997 by Megacom-ik and was a huge success in schools.

The medical press pointed out the educational approach to speaking of the dangers of tobacco.
