This book focuses on the history and use of tobacco, specifically discussing the relative benefits and risks associated with smoking, chewing, and snuffing the substance when at various ages and stages of health. By examining controversial opinions on tobacco use and citing a wide range of scientific research, the author attempts to find a middle ground in the ongoing debate surrounding the use of tobacco. While not condoning tobacco use by young people who have not yet completed physical development, the author concludes that tobacco can be a source of comfort and relief for those who are no longer at risk of stunted growth or developmental harm from its use. Whether exploring the role tobacco played in the lives of famous historical figures or examining the chemistry behind its addictive and health-related effects, the author provides an evenhanded and comprehensive overview of tobacco's significance throughout the ages and its continued presence in modern society.
