Perhaps he was trying to give it up?
Best Wishes

Not that curious, considering that very few of his plays are set in the
here-and-now, and tobacco was a striking novelty. His audience, while
not particularly sensitive to anachronism, cannot have been completely
indifferent to it: they might not notice the incongruity of clocks and
hats in <Julius Caesar>, but Brutus puffing on a pipe would have looked
absurd.

Dear Andy: I'm afraid I'm not aware of any connection, but it's not a
subject I'm very knowledgeable about. The pamphlet's apparently by one
J. H. - I don't know if that would be of any bibliographical help.
Regards,
Tom (not Dr. yet, but thanks all the same) Rutter
