My Lady Nicotine

From the creator of Peter Pan, "My Lady Nicotine" is one of his earlier works. Focusing on his days as a smoker, J. M. Barrie takes us through his life as a smoker to his last pipe as he begins his non-smoking days. My Lady Nicotine by J. M. Barrie is a novel about a man's first love. The love as can be told by the title is not for a woman but for tobacco more particularly a specific blend of it. The story is mostly about his days of youth when he meets with a group of friends to smoke their Arcadia blend of tobacco which they consider the greatest thing in the universe. In many ways the story is less about tobacco and more about the ideas of victorian England and the way that a group of guys could get together to discuss things and enjoy life. While the Arcadia blend is what ties the friends together most of the story is what they do or see when they are together.
