Tobacco & Alcohol

“Tobacco using is a habit which frequently affects the nervous system in a more powerful manner than does the use of alcohol; the habit is more difficult to overcome. Body and mind are, in many cases, more thoroughly intoxicated with the use of tobacco than with spirituous liquors, for it is a more subtle poison.”  {3T 562.1}

ITEMS THAT WE USE, EAT, OR DRINK THAT FOSTER A DESIRE FOR TOBACCO/NICOTINE

1: TEA & COFFEE – “By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco...” (3T 563.3)

2: CONDIMENTS, RICH FOOD, SPICY FOOD – “At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks...acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him,..The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that cravings...”--Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877.  {Te 182.4}

3: IN MANY CASES, FLESH ITEMS – “Many parents educate the tastes of their children and form their appetites. They indulge them in eating flesh meats and in drinking tea and coffee. The highly seasoned flesh meats and the tea and coffee, which some mothers encourage their children to use, prepare the way for them to crave stronger stimulants, as tobacco...” {3T 488.3}

Diabetics and those with heart disease are blocked or hardened arteries should not do the Steam Bath.

ALCOHOL INFORMATION:

“Two thirds (66.6%) of the drunkards in our land created an appetite for liquor by the use of tobacco.”

--Signs of the Times, Oct. 27, 1887.  {Te 72.3}

“Many mothers who deplore the intemperance which exists everywhere do not look deep enough to see the cause. They are daily preparing a variety of dishes and highly seasoned food which tempt the appetite and encourage overeating. The tables of our American people are generally prepared in a manner to make drunkards...”  (3T 563.1)

ITEMS WE USE, EAT, OR DRINK THAT FOSTER A TASTE FOR ALCOHOL:

1: TEA, COFFEE, AND TOBACCO:

“By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco, and this encourages the appetite for liquors.” (3T 563.3)

“...It is only a step from tobacco using to liquor drinking; in fact, the two vices usually go together.”  {Te 71.2}

“This appetite for tobacco is self-destructive. It leads to a craving for something stronger,--fermented wines and liquors...”  -Letter 102a, 1897.  {Te 58.1}

2: RICH, HIGHLY SEASONED FOOD:

“Those who accustom themselves to a rich, stimulating diet, find after a time that the stomach is not satisfied with simple food. It demands that which is more and more highly seasoned, pungent, and stimulating. As the nerves become disordered and the system weakened, the will seems powerless to resist the unnatural craving. The delicate coating of the stomach becomes irritated and inflamed until the most stimulating food fails of giving relief. A thirst is created that nothing but strong drink will quench.  {Ed 203.2}

At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks, the child acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him, which tends to irritate the tender coats of the stomach, inflame the blood, and strengthen the animal passions. The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that craving. This indulgence only increasing the unnatural longing for stimulants, liquor drinking is soon resorted to, and drunkenness follows...” --Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877.  {Te 182.4}

3: FLESH FOOD ITEMS:

“Many parents educate the tastes of their children and form their appetites. They indulge them in eating flesh meats and in drinking tea and coffee. The highly seasoned flesh meats and the tea and coffee, which some mothers encourage their children to use, prepare the way for them to crave stronger stimulants, as tobacco. The use of tobacco encourages the appetite for liquor, and the use of tobacco and liquor invariably lessens nerve power.” {3T 488.3}
