The London Tobacco excerpt traces harsh tobacco bans from Pope Urban VIII to Russia and Persia. It notes excommunications, confiscations, and penalties from snuff punishments to decapitation, with cases in Transylvania, Berne, Aphenzel, Strasbourg, and the Strasbourg Senate’s 1719 ban on cultivation to protect corn. The tale blends anecdotes of rulers and officials with a thread of enforcement chronology.
