Overview

"Counterblast to Tobacco" is one of the best examples of an early social reform tract, penned by none other than the famous (or infamous) King James I, of "Daemonologie" renown. This tract is one of pious religiosity and pragmatic state rulership twain with then-modern 17th century medical lore. Covering the theory of the humors and the various negative effects of tobacco use (and overuse) King James' work here is additionally fleshed out by the deliberate inclusion of logic as he excoriates the "unsavory" fumes of this menacing societal scourge.
