- Personally I knew some old generation men who were affodable to smoke only high-quality, primary opium at a moderated dose daily and looked great just like Gods even in their 70-80s. (Even their wife/wives were satisfied !). So, maybe it's a problem only for poor men who smoke secondary (second-hand !) opium or too much addicted...

- Photo (My comments): 1. A Rich-family Chinese girl smoking on typical opium bed/salon and setting; 2. Two scholars smoking in local style; 3. A smoking couple (Maybe better for sex !); 4. Smoking opium and tabac in old style; 5. Tea after smoking opium or tabac in rural style.
