Thomas De Quincey published his autobiographical Confessions of an English Opium Eater in 1821. The publication both fascinated and outraged its 19th-century readers. Heated debate followed on such topics as: the causality of opiate use; self-inflicted suffering and responsibility; the impact of availability and environment; therapeutic addiction; controlled use; the emergence of dependence; tolerance; withdrawal techniques; hazards; the impact of advertising. Many of these topics remain subjects of debate and causes for concern today. We would be well advised to study the questions and debates of a century and a half ago.
托马斯·德·昆西于1821年出版了他的自传体作品《一个英国鸦片吸食者的自白》。这部作品在19世纪的读者中引起了既着迷又愤怒的反应。随后引发了激烈的辩论，主题包括：鸦片使用的因果关系；自我造成的痛苦与责任；可得性和环境的影响；治疗性成瘾；控制使用；依赖性的出现；耐受性；戒断技巧；危害；广告的影响。其中许多话题至今仍是辩论的主题和令人担忧的原因。我们最好研究一下一个半世纪前的这些问题和辩论。
