HOWE ITS PROBLEMS lAND INTERESTS
Savage Against
Women Smokers
Of Cigarettes

| To the Editor II The Washington Times.
| Some time ago rumOr started about
women smoking. and that smoking cars
were being put on for their convenience
| I'm different countries. II was thought
at first by many 20 he a myth. but un-
| fortunately this was not the case. AS
the habit seems to be increasing daily
among the women You will hear OF
women In high society importing their
special cigarettes, and also women ia the
lower classes who can III afford spend
Ing their money in this way Among
the many evils that exist at the present
day. l do not think there is any more
degrading and damaging Ia the human
race than the women smoking.
Now IL this habit Is to increase among
the women what may VIC expect from
the younger chiIdrenT If the mothers
are to sst the example. II would only he
natural that the child would follow suit,
and as it grows up. would naturally un-
derstand thaS smoking would be one Of
the neeeasaFIeE or life. l am sure there
Is no mother who WIFI smoke wlfo can
disguise the fact from her children, and
then, Is the mother doing right to teach
her children something that the law Is
vigorously trying 70 suppress
Some OF the arguments you viii hear
used in favor Of the women smoking is
that the irish women. Spanish and
French women smoke. Now take. for
instance. the class Of Irish women who
smoke, they are not the educated OF
higher class women, but are the igno-
rant and lower classes Ia France it Is
among the sporty women. and this
might we'll be said IN ali continental
countries where women have smoked
IN days gone by. In the Eastern coun-
tries women smoke. but there is an es-
cuse for them 20 do SO, a. with the
dangers of disease that exist ia warm
climates and tobacco being a preventa-
tive against all diseases. this can ac-
count for them smoking IN these parts
But, nevertheless, this Is nc excuse FOR
the enlightened and inteliigs nj women
in England and America to -ake TO the
habit.
The reason this habit is increasing
among the middle class of women l1
England and America is on account Of
the higher class or women who have
taken 20 the habit. You will see by the
dispatches that some duchesses or 9th
er women in high society are addicted
20 the cigarette habit, and we notice
items taken from the Tobacco Journal
giving the names or queens who have
taken action against certain cigar deal
ers for having used their names as
being patrons OF their cigarettes without
authority.
There Is one thing that may be said,
the woman who smokes cannot ever
expect To be looked upon as a lady. as
she has fallen below the honor and re-
spcct that Is due her sex. II does not
matter what society she may have been
previously connected with. she viii Ger
tainiy have 10 take her stand among
the lower classes. or the sporty women
OF France and other countries.
