Welke mening heeft de heer Hardy met betrekking tot tabakswaren (onderstaande tekst)?
| • To justify continued pro- motion of a dangerous addictive drug the tobacco industry argues freedom of speech and the legality of tobacco. When in 1804 the 19-year- old De Quincey began his life- long, high-profile addiction to opium he did so by walking into a chemist's shop and buying it over the counter. He records that ' ... work- people were rapidly getting into the habit of opium eating; so much so that on a Saturday afternoon the counters of the druggists were strewed with pills of one, two or three grains, in preparation for the known demand of the evening'. We have learnt better about opium. When are we going to learn better about tobacco? E.G. Hardy, Tarporley, Cheshire |
