Gladstone’s Aversion to Smoking

Mr. Gladstone is said to have an unconquerable aversion to smoking. It is related of him that he was once offered and accepted a cigarette from the Prince of Wales. He did not find the result encouraging, and has never been induced to repeat the experiment. There was a time when Mr. Gladstone's dislike of the weed went so far as to prevent its inroad in any shape to Hawarden Castle.
