    About this ebook

    The soda you drink, the books you read: for years, the American government has tried to control the consumption habits of its people. “33 Packs A Day” looks at how the government gets its fist around a favorite U.S. past-time. The thriller follows a government surveillance program that attempts to control the smoking habits of people in New York City. In response to this program, Seran Barzani, a doctor, stages an act of political protest. Unbeknownst to Barzani, the protest catches the eye of an ambitious homeland security agent who begins to track her. Meanwhile, Barzani is searching for her mother, a victim of Chemical Ali’s Al-Anfal campaign. As Seran searches for her mother, she learns she is being hunted and must face her darkest fears.
