<br/><br/> "In the past 40 years, the smoker's profile has reversed, and now smoking is concentrated in middle- and lower-income populations....The poor, the less educated, and the disenfranchised smoke more than their better-off counterparts. Consequently, they suffer a disproportionate burden of tobacco-related illness and death. They are also the most exploited victims of predatory marketing practices that capitalize on their lack of education and other vulnerabilities. When access to certain basic rights, such as good health, education, and fair and equal treatment, has been distributed unevenly or denied to certain groups, the problem becomes an issue of social justice."  (AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH) The authors stress that "tobacco use and its related problems transcend the health arena" and acknowledge that "examining how it is bound up in corporate accountability, economic systems, and public health advocacy contributes to the case for understanding tobacco as a social justice issue."
