Tobacco Battered

The impact of tobacco on 17th-century English society. Compiled and presented by Larry Harrison , medical sociologist.

'Jackson has died suddenly and, being opened, it was judged by the surgeons that it was from the smoke of tobacco, which he took insatiably.' 1601 'In tobacco there is nothing which is not medicine. It cures asthma. It heals an old cough. It stops migraine. It is a help against arthritis, gout and the stone in the bladder.' 1614 'It is like Elias's cloud in the Bible, which was no bigger than a man's hand, that hath suddenly covered the face of the earth.' 1658 With John Baddeley

John Church , Paul Gregory and Manning Wilson
