Their publications have garnered modest attention, however, even as the academy is increasingly inter- ested in global health , transnationa l commod itizatio n, pharmaceuti cals, and the politics of life and death. We take stock of anthropology’s to- bacco literature and our discipline’s broader appetites. We review how colleagues have studied health issues related to tobacco and engaged with theory and policy pertaining to production, consumption, and the regulation of drugs. We assess ways scholars working at the interface of ant hro pol ogy and ciga ret tes have ana lyze d gen derandethnici ty, cor po- rate predation and industry-related harm, governmental management of dis ease,andthe semioticsofmisi nfo rma tion. We discuss whyanthro - pol ogy has not mor e bro adl y and ard ent ly eng age d thestudy of tob acco . And we identify areas for further research capable of illuminating more fully tobacco’s analytical potential and toxic effects. 329 A n n u . R e v . A n t h r o p o l . 2 0 1 1 . 4 0 .
