The con,emporaneous discussion of the
Cigarette question seems to have reached
a stage of irreconcilable opinions.
In the first place the too eager reformers,
who have based their attack on the
cigarette evil by charging the roll Of
paper ana tobacco with a good deal OF
which it is proved to be not guilty, have
been compelled to retire 10 readjust their
lines. Their discontinue is another illus
tration Of the inevitable result of lighting
with unfair weapons and making accusa-
tions from insufficient knowledge. For 1t
appears to be demonstrated tina. whatever
is evil about the cigarette. there is nothing
but tobacco and paper in its makeup. 1t
contains no morphia, no opium, no deleteri-
Gus drugs any more than il does prusslc
acid or dynamite. Indeed, long before the
anti-cigarette agitation reached its present
proportions, the tobacconist experts
through their trade journals were won't
to point out that as the drugs cost heap
more than the tobacco 10 was hardly likely
that the manufacturers would adulterats
the least expensive article with the most
expensive and that the amount of opium,
for example, that they could afford to pat
into five-cent package Of cigarettes
wouldn't be enough to affect the most in
finitosiIlal microbe.
More conservative opponents OF the
cigarette have long held the opinion that
to the tobacco alone were its injurious
effects traceabe, and the arguments of
these still stand stripped of all rubbish
about mysterious drugs asserted to be in
cigarette CONTROVERSY resolves itself into
the old discussion as to whether it is well
for man to use tobacco or not to uso IL In
any form, either cigarette, pipe or cigar
And this has long been frutless argu-
ment. All controversy aside, however
most people probably instinctively feel
that the cigarette is, after all, a good
deal Of an evil even though it may be
difficult TO express the reasons in such
form as to make good plea according to
the rules Of debate. But such persons
are undoubtedly correct In the instinct
and IL is to DC doubted IL the hottest adj
vocate OF cigarette smoking will pretend
any advantage over him who does not
smoke. Probably everybody would be just
as well off If there were no tobacco grown,
and most likely, too, everybody would be
rather better Off. And there is also prob
ably no argument against prevailing
popular sentiment that while the cigarette
may be no worse than any other form of
tobacco, tits still capable of doing harm
that could not so readily he alleged
against other forms We refer, of course
TO the obvious facts that because OF tho
cigarette, ones tobacoo-using years are
begun far sooner that they would bs IL
there were only cigars and pipes available
for cultivation, and again, that inhsla-
-tinn of the fumes which only tho victorian
smoker INDUCES when using a cigar, is
usually inseparable from the cigarette
habit. And We suppose nobody will deny
that the use of tobacco in adolescence and
inhalation at any time of life are perni-
oious.
