About This Book

A physician presents a critical review of habitual tobacco use, arguing that it produces specific medical harms and social disadvantages. The essay surveys physiological effects—especially nervous irritability and general decline in health—connects tobacco use with increased alcohol consumption, idleness, and expense, and notes its offensiveness to refined society. The author offers practical cessation advice, discussing abrupt and gradual methods and emphasizing that many can quit safely, and includes an expanded appendix and prefatory remarks aimed at informing the public, guiding parents and young people, and advising medical audiences.
