The excessive smoker of cigarettes experiences the same mental and physical disturbance when deprived of them that the opium smoker experiences when deprived of opium: the medical treatment necessary to bring about a physiological change in order to destroy the craving is the same.
Charles B. Towns dives deep into the often overlooked dangers of smoking in this eye-opening episode of 'Habits that Handicap'. When tobacco first made its way to Europe, it was quickly labeled as harmful. Yet, despite the well-documented risks, quitting smoking remains a monumental challenge for many. Towns doesn't shy away from comparing the severity of tobacco addiction to that of opium, stressing that both require similar medical treatments to overcome.
He also sheds light on the widespread cigarette consumption in China and the hurdles faced in curbing this habit. Towns emphasizes the need for a mental shift in how we perceive smoking, urging listeners to recognize the significant damage it can inflict on both body and mind. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with smoking or interested in the historical context of addiction.
