Summary Written by King James I of England (King James VI of Scotland) in 1604, A Counter-Blaste to Tobacco is one of the earliest anti-tobacco publications. The work expresses the author's distaste for the substance and refers to widely accepted medical theories of the time, including the four humors rule, for support. King James blames Native Americans for introducing tobacco to Europeans and famously refers to tobacco smoke's odor as "hateful to the nose."
