ABOUT TOBACCO
By Dr. Arthur L. Forster
Ben Johnson didn't like the well-
known`weed. He said, "It is ' good
for nothing but to choke' a roan and
fill him' full df smoke and embers."
'Lambdidn't, feel that way., abeut it.
He once said,,"For thy sake, tobacco,
I would do anything but die,"
And while we're' with the great'lit-
erati on this topic, here's a quotation kind ar`e preferable to the short-
stemmed, because when the smoke'
passes through r a long stem it is
cooled and the volatile substances are
depbsited along the lining of the
der being destroyed by the process pf
combustion,
Obviously, then, the larger this
moist area of condensation, -the more
nicotine will be volatilized' and in-
haled, It follows that cigarettes and
panatellas are the least injurious,
while thick cigars and pipes are the,.
most harmful, Also, the longer a cigar
is smoked the more harmful '' it be-
comes, because of.., the increased
amount of moisture. Every smoker
knows that a thin cigar is not; as
'strong" as a thick one, and that the
first two-thirds of a cigar are',milder
than the last one-third.
As for pipes, the long-stemmed
which shows how times have changed
since f owner's day, when he wrote
the following: w .
"Pernicious weed! whose' scent
the
fair annoys; a • stem.' In the short -stemmed pipe
:Unfriendly to society's chief joys,' the smoke is still hot When it enters
Thy worst effec '
hours ;
The sex whose
ours."
How the civilizing sex has changed!
`Today, the ladies—"God bless 'em"—
don't object to tobacco, They use lit
themselves. Apart from the looks 'of
the thing, smoking is harmful to' wo-
n
man' in the sante degree that itis to a
boy of fourteen,, because her nervous
apparatus is as .delicate and sensitive-
as that .o of sucks° a boy.
.The use of :'tobacco is, however,
harmful to anybody, man or woman,
whether used moderately or "excess-
ively.-The,.harm is, naturally, like ev-
erything else,a matter of degree.
Some suffer less ill effect than others.
As Ben Johnson -would say, they can
,stand more "smoke and embers.".
Whenever a'man`reaches the over-
ripe age of ninety he is asked for -n'
interview on how and why,' in. his.
opinion, he lived so long, Old Uncle
Ebenezer will say that it is because
he "never touched tobacco." The fol -.can't get along without it. Finally it
lowing week, Grandpa Snodgrass—an-'may be just a case of the "compan-
ionship of the pipe."
Over and above al! these theories.
hangs the fact that tobacco does have
an effect on the nervous system that
is 'agreeable. If indulged in modera-
tion it can do no great harm. But
who (will define this moderation?

Some Tonsil Talk

stances are inhaled: '
civilizes , The time of dayone uses tobacco,
has considerable 'bearing on ,its ef-
fects. Thus, smoking a cigarette be-
fore breakfast is as injurious as are
three "pills" afterward. Smoking "on
an empty stomach" is more injurious
than it is • after a full '.meal. Smoking
betweencourses at dinner is bad. It

smoke has a soothing' effect, There:
may be something to this as few men'

may be simply a habit—the smoker

become a fixed idea with him that he
other nonagenarian—comes out with
a statement, between puffs at his pipe,
that he's "keen smoking since he u'as
eleven years old." Its the old story
of the personal equation.
Tobacco has had some bitter •ene-
mies,' and most of the warfare has
been waged against the cigarette,
whose stton'gest opponent was Lucy
,Page Gaston. She never said much
against pipes and cigars but colleen-
trated ber efforts against the c.i4ar-
ette—not:knowing that, despite popu-
lar belief, the latter are the least
harmful of the three. And while I
am on the cigarette, let me `say that
`all the talk about the paper bei.ig the
harmful part is pure nonsense.
Inhaling Harmful
The harmful effect of smoking con-
sists in' the inhaling of nicotine; And
the arnoun"t of, nicotine the smoker
gets depends, net on the kind of to-
liaceo, but the manner in which he
uses it. 'Dtuing'"the burning of to-
bacco -let its say, of a cigar -there
is behind the seat of combustion a
moist area in which the water and vo-
latile substances are condensed. and
drawn into the mouth with.: the
smoke. Inasmuch; as there is enough
nicotine in the average cigar to kill an
ordinary man it evident that only a
fraction of this is inhaled, the remain
