Seeing Through the Smoke
- Synopsis
- Looks at the way two interest groups, one of which supports tobacco advertising and one of which is opposed to it, try to affect what government does. The two interest groups are the Tobacco Advertising Council and Action on Smoking and Health. Shows how four different theories of politics - pluralism, neo-pluralism, Marxism and structural Marxism - would explain the way government reacts to such interest groups.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
