THE UsE OF TOBACCO IN FRANCE.
Needless TO say, The importation of to-
hacco. whether manufactured OF IN
manufactured, is strictly prohibited in
France. with this exceptions foreign resi-
dents are permitted, upon special apph-
cation, 10 import few thousand two or
three once year for their own personal
use. But the formalitics to bc gone
through are so tedious. and the duty 10
be paid sO excessive. that few persons
ever resort 90 it II is easier TO smuggle
them in.
These few data will show the progress
