taking a glass of wine at dinner, etc., etc., etc. . . . You never see but one side of question. You are blind to fact that most old men in America smoke and drink coffee, although, according to your theory, they ought to have died young; and that hearty old Englishmen drink wine and survive it, and portly old Dutchmen both drink and smoke freely, and yet grow older and fatter all time. And you never try to find out how much solid comfort, relaxation and enjoyment a man derives from smoking in course of a lifetime, (and which is worth ten times money he would save by letting it alone,) nor appalling aggregate of happiness lost in a lifetime by your kind of people from NOT smoking." Mark Twain, San Francisco, 1865 Website: http://www.onlinesmoker.com/CigarettesArticles/smokingcigarettes.asp
