Summary

"An Essay on the Influence of Tobacco upon Life and Health" by R. D. Mussey is an informational writing from 1836 that examines the harmful impacts of tobacco on health. Mussey, a medical expert, goes over tobacco's history, describing how its use grew over time and why it’s considered a strong poison capable of causing both mental and physical health problems. The essay shares tests on animals that show just how dangerous tobacco can be, along with long-term problems from using tobacco regularly, like stomach issues and breathing problems. Mussey warns about tobacco addiction's strong hold on people and pushes for everyone to stop using it to get healthier.
