Both are habits and while one makes you wise and noble, the other is an addiction that burns millions every year. Then he compares it with the costs of smoking and compared the benefits and harms of the two. He presents a cost analysis of reading books over a lifetime and its advantages. Orwell has picked a topic for analysis that looks generic but has a very deep meaning. On the other hand, reading costs less and can be profitable in many ways. It burns your pockets and your heart too. This one is an interesting and thought-provoking essay about reading books versus smoking cigarettes. He wrote several essays on problems affecting British society. Orwell became the literary editor of The Tribune in 1943. This piece was published in The Tribune on February 8th in the same year. George Orwell wrote his ‘ Books versus Cigarettes‘ in 1946, a year later than his Animal Farm.
