Perception of Smoking is Relaxed, and Popularity of Smoking is Common

In Antipodes; on, the new existence. a tale of real life, by a Clergyman (1855), he writes what a mother is saying to her grief-stricken daughter. The mother says that "If I were you, my dear, I would learn to smoke" (pp. 129). Through this, the relaxed perception of smoking is proven during this time. The mother is encouraging her daughter to smoke because neither the mother nor her daughter understands the long-term impacts it can have on a person.
