"
I hated Tobacco. I could have almost lent my support to any
institution that had for its object the putting of Tobacco smokers to
death... I now feel that smoking in moderation is a
confortable and laudable practice, and is productive of good. There
is no more harm in a pipe than in a cup of tea. You may poison
yourself by drinking too much green tea, and kill yourself by eating
too many beefsteacks. For my part, I consider that tobacco,
in moderation, is a sweetener and equalizer of the temper."
