Librivox recording of The Social History of Smoking by George L. Apperson.
Read by LibriVox Volunteers.
This work tells the history of smoking in England from the social point of view. Thus it does not deal with the history of tobacco growing or tobacco related manufacture, but is rather the story of how smoking has fitted in with the fashions and customs throughout the ages, and the changes in the attitude of society towards smoking. (Summary by Maikki)

I enjoyed large sections of this recording, but there are some problems with a few chapters, most notably that the final chapter is cut off. It only loses about three paragraphs from the original text, but its always irritating when you are reading a book and some villain has torn out the last two pages.
The rating would be higher if you are particularly well read in terms of English literature, so that the smoking habits of various writers are more captiviating.
