AS THE ANTI-SMOKING MOVEMENT GREW, PEOPLE FORGOT TO APPRECIATE TOBACCO’S HISTORY. THIS ISN’T A BOOK ABOUT WHETHER TOBACCO IS GOOD OR BAD—IT’S A BOOK THAT TELLS ITS STORY: WHERE IT CAME FROM, WHO SMOKED IT, AND HOW IT EVOLVED INTO WHAT IT IS TODAY.

THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL OF MY FAVORITE WRITERS, PHYSICISTS, ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, SOLDIERS, AND ACTORS WHO HAVE TAKEN GREAT PLEASURE IN SMOKING.
