	NYPL, Dry Drunk Exhibition
		A cornerstone of his argument was the link between tobacco and syphilis: he argued that both came from the Indians, whom he characterized as crude and savage, and that tobacco was used by them as a cure against the dread disease, compounding its foulness.
		During the intense early period of the debate, from about 1590 to 1630, many of Europe's most interesting and challenging minds, literary as well as philosophical and scientific, took part in the polemic, frequently, it must be said, with tongues at least partially in cheek.
		Another verse debates whether tobacco is drunk or eaten: the author calls on the common wisdom that smoke is not drunk, and concludes that it should indeed be considered food, not drink.

	spiked-science \| Article \| The great ape debate
		The UK government banned experiments on great apes in 1986, arguing that the 'cognitive and behavioural characteristics and qualities of these animals mean it is unethical to treat them as expendable for research'.
		We need to extend ethics beyond the human species and incorporate the great apes into "the community of equals", the moral community within which we accept certain basic moral principles or rights, enforceable by law, as governing our relations with each other'.
		Just because apes, like other animals, have been found to 'communicate' information, for instance the proximity of a predator, to their fellows, there is no reason to assume that they intend to do so.
