Synopsis
Excerpt from The Soverane Herbe: A History of Tobacco
Fifty years ago Tobacco in England was at its lowest ebb. Snuff was declining in favour, and the increasing practice of smoking was being opposed bitterly by Society. To drink tobacco was then far from being considered the gentlemanly accomplishment that it was in the reign of Elizabeth or the harmless hobby that it is now. Smoking was regarded as a low vulgar practice, to be indulged in by only artisans, Bohemians, and the scum of society. Only within the last twenty years has smoking regained the social position that it held in the golden age of Queen Bess and the stern times of the seventeenth century. It is no longer scorned and sneered at, nor its practice relegated to the stable. It has lived down calumny and survived the satire and frown of Mrs. Grundy and the death sentence of the medical profession. It has come again to be regarded as one of the greatest boons with which man has been blessed.
