stitutional effect. It has been abun-
dainty proved that it is the nicotine
that produces the general reaction
from smoking. It is a virulent poison
but it is combusted in the consump-
tion of the cigarette and so rapidly
blown out that there is not enough
absorption to cause the serious poi
soning which, theoretically, should
occur.
Effect on Heart
In studying the effect of cigarette
filters on the heart, DR.. Segal, Of
Rochester, N. Y, has shown that
smoking half a cigarette produces a
definite effect on the heart of those
subjects under the age of 30. There
is an increase in the pulse rate and
a change in the electric graphic rec
ord of the heart. Those over 80 re-
sponded to much lesser degree to
cigarette smoking. This is possibly
due to the fact that tobacco is an
irritant to the heart and older hearts
do not respond as well.
In spite of the fact that the filters
remove large portion Of the nico-
tine, the effect on the heart is Just
the same with filter as without.

negligible. Pipe and cigar smokers
seldom inhale smoke into the lungs

EVER SINCE the practice Of
using one cigarette as filter in a
cigarette holder has been going on,
l have been asked to pass an opinion
on it. Up to the present, I have had
no dependable information but there
have been several studies of late
which allow us to answer these
questions.
would have been inclined to say,
as a matter of opinion, that the use
Of another cigarette as a filter in
creased, rather than decreased the
amount of nicotine which is obtained
by the smoker. Certainly when you
see one of those limp things taken
out of a cigarette holder, it looks
pretty fiendish. However, careful
chemical analysis indicates that in
some types Of holders a little more
than half of the nicotine is removed,
and in other types about one-third is
removed. The filters made of chem
icals, cotton wads or rolled paper
remove from one-third to one
fourth of the nicotine. When two
cigarettes instead Of one are used,
nearly 80 per cent Of the nicotine is
removed.
Harmful Substances
These harmful substances which
are in cigarette smoke include car
bon-monoxide which is present from

is over per cent in the smoke from
a pipe and from 6 to 8 per cent in
the smoke from a cigar. Strangely
