CIGARETTES MALIGNED.
No Reason Why They Should BE So
Abused.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
The war against the cigarette on the
part of western legislators has been the
occasion of much comment throughout
the country and there have been many
lines of defense raised in favor of the
roll of tobacco with light at one end
and fool at the other,' as someone has
expressed it.
Sentiment aside and getting down to
the plain definition and composition of
the cigarette, Il is difficult to account for
some very silly and in all probability alb
ortive legislation) against this tiny and
comparatively mild smokers article
The cigarette is nothing but n pinch or
wisp of tobacco rolled in paper. Then
why all the hullabaloo about it?
Not because of the tobacco. surely, for
the tobacco used in the manufacture Of
cigarettes is, as a rule, rather better and
less "doctored" than that made for pipe
smoking; and besides. neither pipes nor
cigars, nor even chewing tobacco, are
under the ban. Then, since it is the
paper wrapper alone which differentiates
the cigarette from the other devices for
smoking, it must be the paper that is OBJ
jected to by the anti-cigarette crusaders
who tolerate or use and approve cigars
and pipes. Tobacco as such they profess
leanet of paper? Awful
The following scientific and hygienic ac-
count by an eastern journal of repute of
this same paper which is. 1t seems ig-
norantly supposed to lend such deadly
and defilng properties to otherwise COM
paratively pleasant and harmless tobac-
co, Is worth considering:
This is as nearly pure eellulose as can
be manufactured. 1t gives in burning
carbonic acid, pyroligneous acid and ash.
The carbonic acid is harmless, and from
a dozen packages of cigarettes one would
get less of 1t than he would absorb in a
glass of soda water The pyroligeneous
acid Is a product of the destructive dis
tillation of all hydrocarbons. and less of
1t would be taken into the system IS
the result of a days smoking OF cigar
cites than from a pipe. In either case it
would be less in volume than a dentist
would put into a cavity of an aching
tooth. The ash remains behind, and 1t
is not taken into the system in any way.
OF course, people who condemn the use
of tobacco altogether-and they. at least,
can make out a reasonable case-must in
clude the cigarette But to single out tho
cigarette for denunciation and prohibit
tive legislation seems not little IRA
tional and absurd when the matter is
analysed, and it Is pretty clear that
some legislators have been carried off
their feet by a passing wave of prejudice
for which there is Nittle basis in reason.
True. cigarette. like tea or coffee, are
sometimes used to excess. but excessive
use brings its own penalty Logically
considered, condemning the use of to-
baeco only when rolled In a paper wrap
per seems about on a par with condemn
