Connecticut's Cigarette Law. :

Many states have made many
laws in efforts to suppress the
cigarette habit among children
But for one reason or another
these laws have failed of their
purpose. Either they had a
loose clause that made evasion
possible, or else were SO drastic
as to make themselves impossi-
BILE; SO that little, if any, real
good has ever come of them.
1t is common sight to see
children of very tender years
putting at roll Of tissue paper
and tobacco. Watch the kid
who sells you your paper, and
also watch your own boy on the
way to school. The pernicious
effects of the use of tobacco at
such an early age are too mani
fest to need even a mention.
Parents, teachers, reformers,
doctors and the law have all TAX
en- a hand in attempting to break
up the bad habit, and none OF
them have met with success.
But the state of Connecticut
has fashioned a law which, it is
claimed, fits the proposition and
reaches the desired end. BY re-
cent Enactment it makes it a
misdemeanor for any child under
16 years of age to smoke a ciga-
rette, or even to use tobacco in
any form. If boy is detected
a fine of 81 is assessed against
him, and father has to dig
down" and produce the cash or
the juvenile court deals with the
child. 1t is a sure thing that
when father gets his young
hopeful home he will even up
for part, at least, of that 81
with strap or cane. No father
is going to enjoy paying out his
hardearned money for fines for
his boys bad habits; and it is
self-evident that after three or
four such punishments the boy
will lose his taste for tobacco.
1t is this feature that makes
the Connecticut law different. 1t
brings home the evil to the faith
er's purse and the boys person;
and neithey one will like the
The further provision of Ethis
Connecticut law imposes a fine
on the dealer who sells tobacco
to minors of $25 for the first Of
tense and 800 for every subse-
quent offense. This is along the
lines adopted by other states,
and which it was found easy to
evade. The Connecticut authori-
ties realized this, and therefore
put the ST fine to hit home to
those who have the natural con-
troll of the boys. The state
hopes to raise a generation of
healthy lads who have been
taught respect for parental and
legal authority.
