King James 1 observed the perils of smoking over
four hundred years ago: A custom loathsome
tothe eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain
and dangerous to the lungs, nearest resembling
the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is
bottomless. Nothwithstanding that smokling kills
at least 100,000 a year and harms countless others,
the debate on the freedom to cause premature death
and incapacity will doubtless continue.
