| Summary | "St Nicotine of the Peace Pipe" by Edward Vincent Heward is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the rich history and social significance of tobacco, tracing its influence from its introduction to Europe to its widespread adoption and cultural connotations, often personifying it as 'St. Nicotine.' The work references various historical figures and moments, shedding light on the plant’s perceived medicinal and social virtues. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on tobacco, presenting it as a symbol of camaraderie and solace, woven into the fabric of societies from the Elizabethan era onward. Heward reflects on the allure of the herb, recounts anecdotes from notable figures such as Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir John Beaumont, and includes the captivating story of tobacco's introduction to Europe by explorers. Through these narratives, the text emphasizes the plant's dual identity as both a source of enjoyment and a subject of controversy, illustrating its complex role in human culture and history.
