The Social History of Smoking

About this film

Librivox recording of The Social History of Smoking by George L. Apperson. Read by LibriVox Volunteers. This work tells the history of smoking in England from the social point of view. Thus it does not deal with the history of tobacco growing or tobacco related manufacture, but is rather the story of how smoking has fitted in with the fashions and customs throughout the ages, and the changes in the attitude of society towards smoking.
