Summary: "St Nicotine of the Peace Pipe" by Edward Vincent Heward is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the rich history and social significance of tobacco, tracing its influence from its introduction to Europe to its widespread adoption and cultural connotations, often personifying it as 'St. Nicotine.' The work references various historical figures and moments, shedding light on the plant’s perceived medicinal and social virtues.
