Tobacco : the most dangerous drug in the world |
 | | Tobacco smoking had by now become such a commonplace habit throughout English society that Joverin de Rochefort, a French visitor, wrote in 1671 that in the town of Worcester children were sent to school with a pipe in their satchel. |
 | | Lord Petersham, perhaps the greatest snuff connoisseur of them all, owned a snuff box for every day of the year, and, on his death, left behind some £3,000-worth of snuff. |
 | | The snuff boxes of the era have become highly collectable objects on account of their intricate craftsmanship and the precious materials of which they were made. |
