Cigarette Smoking in ,Janan.

The cigarette and the betel nut are
universally used not only by men, but
by women and children. However. the
tobacco is mild and is smoked very
slowly. My carriers in the jungle
would take two or three puffs and then
thrust their cigarettes into holes in the
lobes of the ears. There the cigarettes
would remain for an hour or two,
when one would be relighted. pulled a
few times more and returned again to
the ear. Sometimes my men would
carry three half-cOnsumed cigarettes
at once, one in each ear and one on the
top of the ear. as an American clerk
carries a pen.-The Great Round
