What is the difference between Vision Impairment and Blindness?
One way of looking at it is...if corrective lenses cannot provide 20/40 sight in at least one eye, you may be visually impaired.
And keep in mind that those who are legally blind--who test 20/200 or less in the better eye after the best correction, or have a field defect in which the widest diameter of the visual field is no greater that 20 degrees--are also visually impaired.
We like to think that being visually impaired means you are "A Little Bit Blind." And chances are you may be more sighted than not.
Consider that the leading cause of vision impairment and legal blindness is macular degeneration which, alone, will NEVER cause complete vision loss. Most cases of diabetic retinopathy do not produce total blindness, although the disease is the leading cause of profound vision loss among young working adults in the United States. Glaucoma, the second leading cause of vision loss in the world, when successfully treated, does not lead to total blindness. Retinitis pigmentosa, in the majority of cases, allows for some residual vision.
While reliable statistics are hard to come by, it is now estimated that in the United States 26,000,000 people are afflicted with some visual disorder. Of these, approximately 1,300,000 are considered blind. Of those only 10% (130,000) have no useable vision or only the ability to perceive light. Therefore, approximately 1,000,000 are called “legally blind”–those who have useable vision. NAVH does not consider anyone blind who falls into this category.

Tobacco History:
The Social History of Smoking
by George Latimer Apperson
First published in 1914
"The Social History of Smoking" by George Latimer Apperson, can be purchased at Amazon.com in two different versions. Depending on the quality of the edition, prices range between $35 and $104.
From Chapter 4: Whether the use of tobacco prevailed as generally among the Cavalier forces is less certain; but as King Charles hated the weed, courtiers may have frowned upon its use. One distinguished cavalier, however, either smoked his pipe, or proposed to do so, on a historic occasion. In Markham's "Life of the Great Lord Fairfax" there is a lively account of how the Duke, then Marquis, of Newcastle, with his brother Charles Cavendish, drove in a coach and six to the field of Marston Moor on the afternoon before the battle. His Grace was in a very bad humour. "He applied to Rupert," says Markham, "for orders as to the disposal of his own most noble person, and was told that there would be no battle that night, and that he had better get into his coach and go to sleep, which he accordingly did." But the decision as to battle or no battle did not rest with Prince Rupert. Cromwell attacked the royal army with the most disastrous results to the King's cause. His Grace of Newcastle woke up, left his coach, and fought bravely, being, according to his Duchess, the last to ride off the fatal field, leaving his coach and six behind him.
From Chapter 5: "Old English 'clays,'" says Mr. T.P. Cooper, "are exceedingly interesting, as most of them are branded with the maker's initials. Monograms and designs were stamped or moulded upon the bowls and on the stems, but more generally upon the spur or flat heel of the pipe. Many pipes display on the heels various forms of lines, hatched and milled, which were perhaps the earliest marks of identification adopted by the pipe-makers. In a careful examination of the monograms we are able to identify the makers of certain pipes found in quantities at various places, by reference to the freeman and burgess rolls and parish registers. During the latter half of the seventeenth century English pipes were presented by colonists in America to the Indians; they subsequently became valuable as objects of barter or part purchase value in exchange for land. In 1677 one hundred and twenty pipes and one hundred Jew's harps were given for a strip of country near Timber Creek, in New Jersey. William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, purchased a tract of land, and 300 pipes were included in the articles given in the exchange."
