Tobacco addiction more dangerous than drug habit or alcoholism. Any man who uses tobacco poisons himself, and the very openness and permissibility of the vice serve to make the process of self-poisoning dangerous to the public as well.
Ever wondered how tobacco addiction stacks up against alcoholism and drug habits? Charles B. Towns, a pioneer in addiction treatment, pulls no punches in this eye-opening episode of 'Habits that Handicap'. Towns argues that tobacco is not only highly toxic—ranking just below prussic acid—but also deeply damaging to moral discipline. He believes that smoking doesn't just harm the body; it corrodes the character, making it particularly dangerous for young boys.
Parents, take note: Towns emphasizes the importance of being role models and choosing educators who embody the virtues they teach. He warns that the social acceptability of smoking makes it a public health hazard, poisoning anyone who indulges. For those battling alcoholism, quitting smoking becomes a crucial step in the recovery journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the full scope of tobacco's impact on health and society.
