that was recently published in a med

tobacco, and conveyed the informa-
tion that tobacco smoking isn't such
deadly habit after all, and that the
opprobiOuS cigarette is the most in
nocent of the -pipe-cigar trio,
the pipe being the least innocent.
Havana tobacco isn't as nieotineous
as others, and Turkish cigarettes are
easier on the addict than others.

ically abolished few months ago
