Deontology private
But in the particular respect it is not below the level of
that which is derived from tobacco: for example in the leaf, in the way of mastication,
or in the shape of powder applied to the organ of smell.
Upon of the whole it stands will stand upon a higher level than that of taking tobacco
in either of those forms: for in both taken in each of those ways shapes annoyance
in some degree is not uncommonly afforded to those to whom
or not for its the use of the drug does not in either of those ways
afford any pleasure: for by the chew sight spectacle of a person chewing
tobacco the idea of uncleanliness is conveyed to spectators: and
by the inhaling of tobacco in the form of snuff, and the secretions
produced by it the like idea in a stronger degree of
is produced in many the of this olfactory
as well as visual organ as well as that of the eye.
At any rate against no pleasure can any rational
objection be found in the character supposing it ever so unquestionably
true that there are other pleasures superior to it are also
within man's reach.
As to the pleasures of the eye and the ear in
the as above, a report notice also has place that in some
way or other the enjoyment of the and invented
pleasure is prejudicial to health and that in such sort that the
reading from it is sooner or later at the preponderant over the pleasure.
If in the report there be any or so far as it is
true the objection against any the endeavour be in this is a
rational one.
