I To SAuf.takers, Smokers, and Cnezoers Of
Tobacco.
It is difficult to contemplate man in
more absurd and ridiculous light, than in
his attachment to Tobacco weed not
more nauseous to the taste. than it is un-
friendly to Health and Morals. Its infiu-
ence upon both, it is here proposed to e&-
hibit, in concise manner, for the serious
consideration Of those who are addicted 10
its use.
And first, its effects on Health. 1t may
be asserted. on the highest medical au,ho-
rity, that the use of Tobacco impairs the
appetite that it promotes indigestion, thro'
the waste of the saliva in chewing and smo-
king; that it produces many of those dis
orders which are seated in the nerves as
tremors in the hands, head-ach, epilepsy,
palsy, apoplexy, and many other COM
plants. The hot smoke of tobacco has de-
stroyed whole set of teeth, in very short
! time and, as well as chewing, il fouls the
mouth, and necessarily renders the breath
extremely ofensive. The use of snuff In
lures the volce, by obstrueting the nose /;
ltrsnders the complexion Of a disagreeable
