Another danger to the tobacco
smoker has been discovered. Nicotine,
hydrogen sulphide and cyanogen had all
been detected in the smoke of tobacco,
but without effect. Now comes DR..
Krause, of Annaberg, with a note in
Dingler's Polytechnisches Journal, in which
he says he has discovered carbonic oxide
in this smokes thing thus far entirely
overlooked. The quantity of this and
Of carbonic acid vary, of course, with the
kind of cigars, the filling of the pipe, ETC.;
and the way the person smokes, too
whether with strong or weak draws-in-
fiuences the products by affecting the
combustion. DR.. Krause describes his
method of experiment and gives table
for various cigars and modes Of smoking.
1t appears from some twelve experiments
that the quantity of carbonic oxide varied
between so and 1873 volumes in 100 of
smoke; average 9.3. AS the smoker
never gives out all the smoke, but must
take portion of it into his lungs, GER
tain amount of carbonic oxide poisoning
is thus inevitable The more awkward
the smoker, says DR.. Krause, the more
rapidly will the action of the carbonic
oxide make itself felt; hence the evil
effects of early studies in smoking, the
results of which are commonly ascirbed
to nicotine alone.
