An Average Of More Than Six Daily for

Washington, Aug. Is. There were So
402 ,330,ll3 cigarettes smoked in tue
United States during the last fiscal year,
according to government statistics Just
issued 25,00o00O is perhaps a fair es-
innate of the number of men and boys
in this country who smoke tobacco So,
on an average, each smoker consumed
2,2lG cigarettes last year, or 6 lila a
day. the fraction representing the very
small butt cigarette smoke throws
away.
But Of the 25.0O0.000 smokers many
millions smoke cigars or pipes and some
smokers roll their own cigarette. So
the average number each cigarette smok-
er consumes daily must be much higher
than LA The government statisti-
clans are very proud Of their accuracy
in carrying out figure SO high as
fifty five thousand four hundred millions
TO the yer last numher-l3. Perhaps
there is warning to cigarette smokers
in these last two figures. ANYHOW, the
cigarette habit is growing Tremendously |
