This text explores the various harmful effects of tobacco consumption, arguing passionately for its complete abandonment. Fowler, a clergyman, addresses the moral, health, and socioeconomic ramifications of tobacco use, pervading his discourse with significant historical and empirical evidence against the practice. In the book, Fowler presents a thorough analysis of the detrimental impacts of tobacco on individual health, societal morals, and financial resources, urging for immediate and total abstinence. He outlines numerous arguments, including the observation that tobacco facilitates the consumption of alcohol—a further societal ill—and leads to a cascade of physical ailments, such as cancer and heart diseases. Fowler emphasizes the waste of wealth associated with tobacco and posits that the funds could be redirected toward noble causes. His rhetoric targets both individual users and society as a whole, pressing for a united front against this "dirty plant." Ultimately, he calls for personal and communal responsibility to abandon tobacco for a healthier, more moral society.
