Remember when Juul was a verb? The generecized word for vape? I REMEMBER! That business really came and went like a beautiful comet. Joining me to talk about the historic rise and fall of Juul is my dear friend Emma Day! The legal machinations behind regulating cigarettes is FASCINATING, and the status of cigarettes in the law affects the ways we make e-cigs. Also, we just talk about the smoking cessation industry in general, which is a hilarious thing we invented to solve the problem of overproducing unbelievably addictive yet dangerous objects. Emma is so fucking funny, please listen to her podcast Do You Have a Sec? everywhere!

It's February 6th. This day in 1987, federal regulations go into effect limiting where federal workers can smoke cigarettes. Smoking rooms, smoking couches, and the little designated smoking areas on sidewalks spring up as a result. Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Sarah Milov of the University of Virginia to talk about the way non-smokers rights were regulated and negotiated, legally and culturally, throughout the 1980s.

In this episode, Niki, Natalia, and Neil discuss the history of rest and relaxation. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week's show:  As boundaries between work and home have become blurred during the pandemic, Americans have been thinking more deliberately about rest and relaxation. Neil drew on Judith Shulevitz' New York Times piece about “bringing back the Sabbath” and this Atlantic review about her book on this topic. Natalia referred to historian Sarah Milov's history of the cigarette and her discussion of the office “smoke break.”   In our regular closing feature, What's Making History: Natalia shared the C-SPAN lesson plan based on the lecture she gave on “The Making of American Fitness Culture.” Neil discussed Brittany Gibson's POLITICO piece, “They Stormed the Capitol. Now They're Running for Office.” Niki recommended Brad Plumer's Vox article, “How America Got Addicted to Road Salt—And Why That's A Problem.”

Twitter's decision Friday to join Facebook in permanently suspending President Trump's account underscored the fundamental role of social media in one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. If it feels strange and unusual, that's because there's no historical precedent, neither in media nor the presidency. "This has not happened before," says Margaret O’Mara, a historian, author and University of Washington professor, our guest commentator on this week's show. "Particularly in the modern period, what the president says and does has always been covered, because it's always been newsworthy," said O'Mara, who specializes in the history of tech and politics. "Particularly as the presidency grew into becoming the most important job on the planet, and the U.S. was becoming a military and economic superpower, what the president said mattered -- it had credibility." We also discuss the future of Seattle, Silicon Valley and other established tech hubs in the aftermath of the pandemic, a topic of O'Mara's recent New York Times opinion column, "California May Lose Some of Its Stars. But Silicon Valley Is Forever." And we wrap the show with highlights from O'Mara's bookshelf: "Uncanny Valley," by Anna Wiener;"Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership," by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor; and "The Cigarette: A Political History," by Sarah Milov. Produced and edited by Curt Milton. Theme music by Daniel L.K. Caldwell. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Milov, author of "The Cigarette: A Political History", joined Sean to look at the politics behind the global addiction of smoking.

In our first podcast of the season, Stan talks to Sarah Milov of the University of Virginia about her recent book The Cigarette: A Political History, and about the fascinating history of smoking and anti-smoking in America–including a snippet of the creepy Johnny Smoke PSA from the late ’60s.

In this episode, we speak with author Sarah Milov about America's relationship with cigarettes. She wrote "The Cigarette: A Political History," which explores why they're still legal, how their sizable lobby operates and how the industry has battled the "non-smoker." Cigarettes kill many times more people than cars and guns, yet they still hold a sizable place in American life.

There is a distinction between normal breathlessness and pathological breathlessness. What does it really mean to be out of breath? Let’s talk about the tobacco industry’s supposedly philanthropic response to COVID-19, ventilators and oxygen, lung-related diseases, and breathlessness with James Dodd, a Consultant Senior Lecturer in Respiratory Medicine at the University of Bristol, Havi Carel, the leader of the Life of Breath project, and Sarah Milov, a historian based in the University of Virginia.

Sam hosts historian Sarah Milov to discuss her latest book, The Cigarette: A Political History. Milov and Sam walk through tobacco's role in American culture and the government's role in developing the cigarette market. From WWI to FDR's New Deal and the Marshall plan, tobacco (and cigarettes) played a principal role in American politics, economic growth, and war efforts. The turning point for tobacco's relationship to the federal government was the Surgeon General's 1964, which cited the dangers of smoking, including the rise of lung cancer. Milov and Sam walk through the gradually growing protest against the tobacco lobby, including their fight against television advertising, the Fairness Doctrine, and antismoking advocacy like GASP. Sam and Milov also discuss the cultural conflict between unions, workers' rights, and smokers' rights. What killed the cigarette was a combination of non-smoker entitlement to public spaces and workplace cost-centered restrictions that ended up reducing smoking numbers and drove smoking to the margins and mostly affected the impoverished.   And in the Fun Half: polling Democrats after Biden denies Tara Reade allegations, Sam and Brian Kilmeade agree for the first time, Kellyanne Conway says the House will waste Fauci's time, Laura Ingraham is now a pro-death epidemiologist, Matt Gaetz wants police departments to stop using Chinese drones--how about all police drones, Q-fan John Ratcliffe's DNI confirmation hearing, plus you IMs!

Will the Coronavirus Pandemic Spark a Global Recession? (0:31)Guest: Josh Bivens, Director of Research, Economic Policy InstituteThe economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic are expanding hourly, as more countries restrict travel, businesses and universities close or urge people to work from home and large gatherings get cancelled – the NBA, NHL have even suspended their seasons. A week ago, economist Josh Bivens warned that if COVID-19 prompts a recession, it'll happen fast. Are we there now? RecycleHealth Sends Unused Health Devices to Underserved Communities for Free (21:00)Guest: Lisa Gualtieri, PhD, Assistant Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine, Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Founder Of RecycleHealthFitness trackers are so common, you probably have one on your wrist right now, or else it's gathering dust in a drawer somewhere because you lost interest after a few months. That happens so often that a Tufts University public health researcher created a nonprofit to gather abandoned Fitbits and smart watches and give them new homes. Why Is Socialism No Longer Such a Bad Word in American Society? (32:42)Guest: Professor Richard D. Wolff, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Author of "Understanding Socialism"The most famous socialist in America is staying in the presidential race for now – even though Bernie Sanders is trailing Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination. Technically, Bernie Sanders says he's a “Democratic Socialist.” What does that actually mean, and why do his policies seem to resonate so well with young voters, when “socialism” has been a bad word in America for so long? How Grassroots Activists Turned America Against Smoking (50:45)Guest: Sarah Milov, PhD, Assistant Professor of History, University of Virginia, Author of “The Cigarette: A Political History”If you look at smoking trends in America starting in the 1960s, the line goes steadily downward. In 1964, nearly half of Americans smoked. Today only 14 percent of adults do. What changed? Now it'd be easy to assume that after a historic declaration by the US Surgeon General, the whole US government got busy discouraging smoking. But actually, the opposite is true. For the next 40 years, the federal government continued to subsidize tobacco production and offer little help at all to the non-smoking movement. As historian Sarah Milov argues in her new book, “The Cigarette,” the only reason smoking today is banned in public places and considered socially unacceptable is because grassroots activists organized for it – against the most powerful political forces in the nation. Consumer Group Warns CBD Products Are Largely Unregulated (1:26:28)Guest: Sally Greenberg, Executive Director, National Consumer LeagueA component of marijuana called cannabidiol – or CBD – can be legally sold in nearly every state, but the Food and Drug Administration has admitted it's a little behind here in terms of deciding how it should be regulate CBD – is it a drug or a supplement? In a recent report to Congress, the FDA expressed concerns about the potential safety risks posed by all of the creams, soaps, supplements and foods containing CBD that are currently for sale. The National Consumer League is urging the FDA to get more involved with the testing, labeling and researching CBD products.

Richard Wolff of Univ of Massachusetts, Amherst on socialism in America. Sarah Milov, Univ of Virginia and author of “The Cigarette: A Political History,” on cigarettes. Sally Greenberg of the National Consumer League on unregulated CBD.

Sarah Milov is a professor of history at the University of Virginia and the author of The Cigarette: A Political History. In this conversation, she describes how the intersection of private capital and state power combined (with astounding success) to promote the consumption of cigarettes to the American public, and how activists engaged ideas around public space, health, and consent to fight back.

In this episode, Niki, Natalia, and Neil discuss Rudy Giuliani’s political career, the climate activist Greta Thunberg, and the controversy over vaping. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast   Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  Rudy Giuliani is most prominent today as a Trump surrogate, but after 9/11 he was known as “America’s Mayor.” Natalia recommended Ken Frydman’s New York Times op-ed about working for Giuliani and Matthew Yglesias’ Vox piece about his disregard for the rule of law. Scandinavian climate activist Greta Thunberg is inspiring a fierce response across the political spectrum. Natalia recommended Rebecca Onion’s piece at Slate on Thunberg’s appeal. Vaping has existed for less than five years, but is at the center of intense controversy over its potential health consequences. Niki recommended historian Sarah Milov’s new book, The Cigarette: A Political History, and her articles about vaping at Made by History and at Time.   In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed the history of women being dismissed from teaching for visible pregnancy in light of Elizabeth Warren’s career. Neil talked about the New York Times article, “Samuel Little is Most Prolific Serial Killer in U.S. History, F.B.I. Says.” Niki shared Moises Velasquez-Manoff’s New York Times article, “As Sea Levels Rise, So Do Ghost Forests.”

Lisa Birnbach talks to author and historian Sarah Milov about her new book "The Cigarette" and how it plays into individual responsibility, collective choice, corporate influence, and the scope of governmental power. And of course the 5 Things that make their lives better.Lisa’s 5 Things: 1. Learning to write a little more personally, 2. Dresses, 3. Her very verbal #Exhibits ™, 4. Malbec, 5. Nancy Pelosi.Sarah’s 5 Things: 1. Daycare, 2. New Mexico, 3. Her students, 4. Archivists and librarians, 5. Getting dropped off rather than driving.

After the U.S. surgeon general released a landmark report on the dangers of smoking, lawyers and activists helped curb a public health epidemic, UVA historian Sarah Milov explains.

This is a special episode that’s a little bit different from our usual programming. For several years, BackStory hosts have appeared on WBUR’s Here & Now, discussing a range of topics that have been in the news. Last week, Nathan and Ed appeared on the program (https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/07/11/tobacco-history) to talk about America’s relationship with tobacco. They relied on the research of Sarah Milov (http://history.virginia.edu/people/profile/sem9dw) , an assistant professor of history at the University of Virginia, whose book, The Cigarette: A Political History (http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674241213&content=bios) , comes out in October.  As you may have seen reported in various media outlets, neither Nathan, nor Ed credited Prof. Milov on the air for her work. For that, we’re deeply sorry.  So in this special segment, Prof. Milov joins Nathan and Ed to talk about what happened last week, as well as broader issues facing historians who are regularly in the media. Image: A word cloud of this episode's transcript. *In the conversation, Nathan and Sarah Milov refer to the following historians: Nan Enstad (https://www.nanenstad.com/) , James Downs (https://www.conncoll.edu/directories/faculty-profiles/james-downs/) , Danielle McGuire (https://daniellemcguire.com/about/) and Silke-Maria Weineck (https://lsa.umich.edu/german/people/faculty/smwei.html) . Thanks to Jessica Marie Johnson (https://history.jhu.edu/directory/jessica-johnson/) for providing hosts with some background reading on the topic. 

In this episode, Natalia, Niki, and Neil discuss the history of high school yearbooks, how the Trump administration is defining immigrants as “public charges,” and the awful misogyny of Barstool Sports. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  High school yearbooks have been in the spotlight during the investigation of Brett Kavanaugh. Niki cited this Atlantic article that historicizes yearbooks and Natalia recommended historian Paula Fass’ book Outside In: Minorities and the Transformation of American Education for its use of yearbooks as historical sources. President Trump came to power promising to tighten immigration legislation, and a recent proposal promises to deny citizenship to those who make use of public services. Natalia recommended this Atlantic interview with historian Hidetaka Hirota about how today’s policies are rooted in 19th-century policies that targeted the Irish. If sports has always been a “boys’ club,” Barstool Sports has taken this sexism to new levels. Natalia recommended this Daily Beast article on the controversial website. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia shared her experience visiting the Storm King Art Center in Cornwall, NY. Neil commented on touring the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Abiquiú, New Mexico. Niki discussed historian Sarah Milov’s Washington Post piece, “Like the Tobacco Industry, E-Cigarette Manufacturers Are Targeting Children.”
