Abstract
Tobacco in its various forms has been recognized for centuries to have an adverse effect on human health. From King James to Shakespeare, from Sommering to Abbe, from Mueller to the definitive studies in the 1950s, historical comments, clinical observations, epidemiological studies, and laboratory experiments have demonstrated that the use of tobacco— whether by smoking, snuffing, or chewing—is detrimental to human health by significantly contributing to excess disability, disease, and death (Abbe, 1915; Doll and Hill, 1956; Hammond and Horn, 1958; Hoffman, 1929; IARC, 1986; James, 1604; Kennaway and Kennaway, 1947; Levin, Goldstein, and Gerhardt, 1950; Mueller, 1939; Ochsner and DeBakey, 1941; Soemmering, 1795; Wynder and Graham, 1950; Wynder and Hoffmann, 1967; Wynder and Stellman, 1977).
