Tobacco and Alcohol

"Tobacco and Alcohol" by John Fiske offers a compelling look into historical perspectives on smoking, drinking, and their societal implications. Divided into two essays, the book tackles controversial questions regarding the use of tobacco and alcohol. "I. It Does Pay to Smoke" presents an argument, likely provocative for its time, while "II. The Coming Man Will Drink Wine" explores evolving attitudes toward alcohol consumption.

This meticulously prepared print edition provides valuable insight into 19th-century thought on themes of health, customs, and addiction. Explore the historical context surrounding temperance movements and evolving social norms as Fiske delves into the customs associated with tobacco and wine. A fascinating read for anyone interested in social sciences, healthy living, and the historical understanding of these enduring topics.
