Abstract

This baffling collection of enthusiastic statements was not sourced from Take 5 magazine. Each is instead drawn from my most recent work on thirdhand smoke or, if I’m being publicity-savvy about it (which I’m told by Bloomsbury I simply must be), the third section of my new book about the social, moral and political atmosphere of smokefree, and on first, second, third and fourthhand smoke. In this paper, I’m going to use them, along with some other startling exclamations, to make some serious remarks about quiet violence, touch, families, publics and, as is my custom, the state of medical anthropology (and, indeed, anthropology more generally).  In fact, this paper is not really about thirdhand smoke as much as it is about a comprehensive radicalisation of medical and sensory anthropology, and my resultant stance on a new sort of disciplinary enquiry that will likely see me banned from even more journals than I am currently.
