Tobacco and anti smoking Vaping ?

One of my collections which started as a topical thematic collection has evolved into an 8 frame exhibit in the Open Social philately Class .

Tobacco was introduced to England in the 1580s and the world’s first anti smoking treatise was published by King James 1st and VIth in 1603 as “A COunterblaste  to Tobacco” 

the exhibit  starts with the plant, it’s cultivation and the production of the various products and methods of consumption, its importance as a trade commodity and association with slavery in the 18th and 19th century. Government revenues , monopolies, licenses taxes and smuggling all feature .
By the Great War tobacco rations for the troops were as essential as food and patriotic parcels were sent from home. Advertising pumped billions into the promotion of smoking with loyalty gifts, glamour on cinema and tv, sports sponsorship until a gradual awareness of health concerns came to the fore. 
The first objections to tobacco were on morality grounds from temperance movements and early adverts of cures feature. German research in the 1930s and 1940s reduced tobacco rations for soldiers , prohibited it for women of childbearing age and banned it in buses and trains .it took the death of King George from lung cancer to focus British attention on tobacco. WHO initiatives gained ground and soon countries had non smoking legislation in cinemas, restaurants, transport and workplaces .The smoker became pariah.

All these appear in my story .Social class collecting gives wider scope for imaginative additions not accepted in the rules for thematic or topical exhibits. I have postcards, an Act of parliament, letters , anti slavery documents, newspaper articles, cigarette packets, Cinderellas, adverts, badges and decals as well as several hundred stamps and covers.
