The work takes an analytical approach to the physiological effects of tobacco and alcohol, evaluating contemporary views and presenting the author's own conclusions based on scientific principles and research. Fiske challenges the prevailing negative perceptions surrounding these substances, advocating for moderate use and arguing for their potential benefits. At the start of the text, the author introduces his motivation for writing, which stemmed from responding to criticisms of tobacco made by Mr. James Parton. He discusses Parton’s absolute condemnation of tobacco and begins to refute these claims by presenting scientific arguments. Fiske emphasizes the complexity of the physiological effects of tobacco, stating that when used in moderation, it can actually be beneficial to health rather than harmful, a claim he plans to substantiate with evidence and references from current physiologists. The opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of both substances, positioning Fiske as an advocate for a reasoned and balanced approach to tobacco and alcohol consumption.
