In this 1917 essay, G.K. Chesterton responds to an English minister's concerns about restricting cigarettes for soldiers during World War I, using it as a critique of modern Puritanism. He contrasts the intellectual and literary achievements of historical Puritans with what he perceives as the lack of imagination and understanding among contemporary Puritans. Chesterton defends the importance of personal freedom and criticizes the minister’s cautious stance, calling it a "towering blasphemy."
