A Mansion House treat or smoking attitudes Long Caption: This print mocks the habits of the rich and famous. Smoking tobacco was condemned in some quarters in the 18th century. However, the production of tobacco by enslaved labour on North American plantations in particular and its sale in Europe was a major source of revenue for the British economy.
