The history of “How to Lie with Smoking Statistics” (2014)

Darrell Huff is best known as the author of How to Lie with Statistics, which was published in 1954 and has been the most popular statistics book ever since. Less well-known is Huff’s other statistical book, How to Lie with Smoking Statistics. The full story of Huff’s book is now available in my article “Huff and puff” in Significance magazine (preprint PDF here).
