He has been a regular opium smoker for more than 3 years. Previous to that he used to smoke only occasionally when discussing business with his friends. He assured me that he felt stronger now than he did 3 years ago. He is certainly a rather fine looking man. He is moreover an exceedingly smart man of business. At the same time he candidly told me that he would be very glad if he could abandon the habit, not on account of the expense, but through fear that in course of time his health might suffer. He further explained that the necessity of having a pipe to satisfy the craving was beginning to interfere with his business habits.
