Snub to My Lady Nicotine in England Tax Case
An English firm faced a London court last November over a Tobacco Act offence for advertising a non nicotine smoking mixture as a tobacco substitute. Six tons seized and potential revenue loss pegged at £3840. The mix, forest leaves treated to imitate tobacco, could fool smokers if mixed with genuine tobacco. The case also notes Lancet findings on cigarette smoking affecting heart, breathlessness, and pulse, and comments on printing history in China and Cambridge University’s acquisition of Liu Tsung Yuan texts.
