CIGARETTES ARE AN INSTITUTION
This book attributes to the cigarette a certain philosophical dimension, derived from the fact that it is considered a symbolic tool, and gives it the poetic characteristics of a sacred or even love object, endowed with magical properties and seductive charms, surrounded by a cord of prohibitions and an atmosphere of danger – being a site of forbidden pleasures, a conduit to the transcendent and a stimulus to repulsion.” Writing this eulogy of cigarettes was the strategy I devised to quit smoking – and quit for good! It is, therefore, both an ode and an elegy for cigarettes.” Richard Klein
