«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.

A Shimmering Touch with Some Drawbacks
The Yosca Body Shimmer Oil offers a way to add a touch of radiance to my makeup routine. This 50ML gold shimmer body oil is designed for creating a shimmering and moisturizing glow, ideal for concerts, parties, or achieving a summer glow.
Pros:
Moisturizing Formula: The oil provides hydration, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout the day.
Versatile Use: It can be applied to both the body and face, allowing for a cohesive glow from head to toe.
Long-Lasting: The shimmer is designed to last for hours, aiming to keep the glow intact throughout events.
Cons:
Subtle Glow: I found that the glow is not as pronounced as I expected, which might not meet the expectations of those looking for a more vibrant shimmer.
Transfer to Clothing: The oil tends to transfer to clothing quite a bit, which can be inconvenient and requires careful application and drying time.
Overall, while the Yosca Body Shimmer Oil offers moisturizing benefits, the subtle glow and transfer issues make it less ideal for those seeking a more pronounced and hassle-free shimmer. It may work well for those looking for a gentle touch of radiance, but it's important to be mindful of its transfer potential.

Gives a beautiful glow
I recently tried the Yosca Body Shimmer Oil, and it’s a great product for adding a radiant, sun-kissed glow to my skin! The gold shimmer is beautiful and noticeable without being too glittery, making it perfect for concerts, parties, or a summer glow.
The oil itself is lightweight and moisturizing, absorbing nicely without feeling greasy. It has a subtle, pleasant scent, which is a nice bonus. The 50ML size is decent, though I wish there was a larger option available.
The only downside is that the shimmer can transfer onto clothes if not fully dried, so I recommend letting it set for a few minutes. Otherwise, it lasts well throughout the day. Thank you

Not the best glow or radiance
Sticky feeling very low radiance but it’s more natural I guess and has a slight smell not a good aroma over all very nice wish there was more glow to it and not feel sticky I guess from the oil texture

A bit greasy
I know this is a body shimmer oil, but I felt it was a bit of a oily, greasy feeling on my skin. It does go on easily and has nice light shimmer or glow to it.
