Description: This book is an impassioned argument for the revival of tobacco growing in Great Britain and Ireland, drawing on a rich history of the plant’s cultivation in the British Isles. The author meticulously outlines the historical and political context of the laws that have restricted tobacco production, tracing the journey from early experimentation to eventual prohibition in the 18th and 19th centuries. He contrasts the restrictive policies of the British government with the flourishing tobacco industries in continental Europe, especially Germany, France, and Austria-Hungary, highlighting the potential for similar success within the British Isles. Throughout the book, the author argues that the historical reasons for prohibiting tobacco cultivation are no longer relevant, particularly since the loss of British colonies in America, the main source of tobacco for England at the time. He emphasizes the economic benefits of a domestic tobacco industry, underscoring the potential for creating jobs, generating revenue, and stimulating local economies. Beyond these economic arguments, the author makes a strong case for the social impact of reviving tobacco cultivation, suggesting it would offer much-needed employment opportunities for rural communities, particularly during the summer months. The book’s detailed historical and economic analysis provides a fascinating insight into the complex history of tobacco production and its potential as a viable and profitable industry for the British Isles.
