Smoking

"One of the benefits of life would be smoking. But ever since the state seized the right to keep tobacco, good tobacco has been lost. Only occasionally is it grown in secret here and there and kept in cuttings, and Esau, if he were alive today and living with us, would give up not only his rights but also his lentils for a little good tobacco. Since this state of affairs is not likely to change, anyone who learns to smoke at this time is a fool. It is not a habit for daily enjoyment, but for daily wickedness. It is so easy not to learn! He who has not eaten the swallow's nest of China, will he desire it? The danger of smoking is that once you start, you can't stop."
