The Thibodaux sentinel. (Thibodaux, La.) 1905-1912, 1910-03-05

The question - to which Of the
three forms Of smoking, the -pip-, the
cigarette, or the c:gar, intr oduces the
G eatsst proportion Of nicotine into
The smoksr's system has ever obtained
\ completely decisive aaswsr, although

somstimes it was destroyed by sf,c-
tive combustion, while At other times

fects. According to this theory,
which was al on the right track, Tie
cigarette, was Ieas, harmful, because
the tobacco along the th,o wrappe,
