I'VE ourselves believe that smoking
is both unnecessary and unnatural
and that in many cases is directly in
furious. 1t is admitted by leading
authorities that cigarette smoking by
boys is one of the causes of physica
deterioration.
"It may also be urged that the mon

some cases is considerable-might b.
better employed Instances hav,
come under our notice in which tn,
amount spent was badly needed for or

Further the habit is often a caus
Of discomfort and annoyance to non
smokers Including ladies' and in som
cases tends to dull the finest feeling
of courtesy and thoughtfulness for tn
comfort of others"
The appeal goes on to speak of tn
influence which Friends may exert
and the help they may tender other
who are attempting to overcome tn
tobacco habit.
