Smoking, a "custome lothsome to the eye"


A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomlesse.
-King James, A Counterblaste to Tobacco
