«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.

Slim profile, stays anchored all night (Berry flavor is great!)
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count, Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
I rely on these nightly to combat dry mouth, and they deliver exactly what is promised. The adhesion mechanism is impressive—once placed against the gum, the disc stays securely anchored for a full 6–8 hours without shifting, allowing me to sleep without interruption.
The profile is ideal; the discs are incredibly slim and unobtrusive, so you don't feel like you have a bulky object in your mouth while trying to fall asleep. Despite being so compact, they pack enough moisture to last until morning. The Berry flavor is mild and soothing, making it a perfect bedside companion. Highly recommended.

Excellent product for dry mouth
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
If you are having trouble with dry mouth, especially while sleeping, this is definitely the product for you. I have severe dry mouth and have tried multiple things including hard candy (yes, I know not very smart) as well as different biotin products, the mouthwash, the spray and the gel, which all do work, but do not last for very long. These stay in place open the corner of your mouth, last for hours and truly work. I highly recommend it if you are having a dry mouth issue

Works great
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
I have to use these for about 1/2 a year. I keep bronchitis and sinusitis from about Oct. to April every since I was a child. When I am suffering with these I can't breath through my nose, epically at night while sleeping and would wake up several times a night with dry mouth so bad ir was literally painful. My mom turned me on to these because she was using the with her CPAP. I sometimes have a bit of difficulty getting them to stay put but overall they are great. I have tried the OG, cinnamon, and berry. The OG have no real taste, but you wake up with a sweet taste in your mouth. I tried the cinnamon because I love cinnamon and didn't listen to the reviews stating how strong the flavor is, big regret, it's like putting two or three fireballs in your mouth, won't be making that mistake again. The berry ones are actually best in my opinion. They have a light berry flavor that isn't overpowering, isn't quite as sweet as the OG. Whichever one you choose you won't wake up in pain. I do suggest using only one at first as opposed to the two they recommend, unless you like waking up with your head on a water logged pillow. One generally gets me through the night unless my congestion is super bad, then I will sometimes have to use a 2nd one about 1/2 way through my night when I wake up for the bathroom and realize it's already completely dissolved.

A Great Product!
These tablets are inspired! I use them every night with my cpap. The back of each tablet has a coating that, when moistened, is easily glued to a back tooth to slowly dissolve while sleeping. Works like a charm! These would be good to use when speaking publicly, too - no more performance dry mouth. You really can't tell it's there once it's glued in. The minty flavor is there, but not overwhelming. I am never without my Xylimelts!
