**I8 tobacco going to havo Its scalp
added to, the belt ql. the prohibitionist
beside that of the lamented but as
yet not altogether late alcohol?'* is
the question asked by Garret Smith
In an article in the current issue of
Leslie's Magazine.’.'
The writer reaches the conclusion
that while there has been increased
agitation and legislative activity on
the subject of tobacco following the
success of the drive for prohibition
of liquor the efforts of reformers seek
ing to abolish tobacco have no general
support. This opinion is based on the
results of the questionnaires on tbii
subject sent out to newspaper editors
of the country by the Press Service
Company of New York City. *
The questions asked were:
(1) Do you favor the enactment of
laws prohibiting tlie personal use of
tobacco by adults?
(2) In your judgment does the gen
eral sentiment of your community
favor such le.c::^lation? "
(3) Is th2 I.; >3 of tobacco por?onnl-
ly objectionable to you ?
No arguments accompanied the ques
tions and from their form it was im
possible for any editor to determine
the attitude of the questioners.
Out of 12,518 editors questioned,
7,847 replied according to the summary
given. These editors, it is estimated,
represent a combined circulation of
21,870,046. Of the 7,847 editors reply
ing, 7,393, or 95 per cent, represent
public sentiment in their communities
as opposed to anti-tobacco legislation.
Only 2^J0 eflitors, or 3 per cent of.
those replying believed there was any
considerable sentiment favorable to
tobacco prohibition. There were 174,
or 2 per cent, in doubt, while 20 failed
to record their judgment. '
Editors' Judgment Unbiased /
“It is of special interest to n< te
that 569 editors in answering the fi 'St
question, personally favored such
legislation, altlioiigh only 260 of them
reported that public opinion also fa
vored the prohibition of tobacco—an
indication of the conscieatious effort
made by the editors to distinguish pub
lic opinion from their own personal
opinions," the article continues,^
“The highest percentage of replies
reporting public opinion favorable to
prohibition of tobacco came from Utah,
where 42 per cent of the editors
thought the public were for such a
movement. Utah is the only state
which has sin® adopted an anti-
cigarette law. The result was fore
cast by several of the editors who
stated that the Influence of the Mor
mon Church was against tobacco. The
Mormon Church is also strong in Idaho,
which is the other state where tlie use
of tobacco was recently prohibited,
but the governor has signed the bill
Just passed, in* which the prohibitory
legislation is repealed. In this state
89 per cent of the editors estimate
sentiment in their communities as
against tobacco prohibition, which,
nevertheless, is G per cent below the
average reported opposition.
“The legislature of Tennes.see some
weeks ago passed and the governor
has signed a bill repealing ihe antl-
cigaret^e law of that state. The ques
tionnaire showed 93 per cent* of its
editors believed the public against
anti-tobacco legislation. The legisla
ture of Arkansas, has also, passed a
bill repealing its anti-cjgarette law. In
this state 94 per cent of the editors
reported against tobacco prohibition.
Arizona's Practical Joke
“A bill, introduced In the current
session of the legislature of Arizona
to prohibit smoking In public ^ning
rooms and other public places, was
first amended to prohibit the consump
tion in public of peanuts, chewing
gum, tea and coffee and then defeated
by the senate. The questionnaira
returns from that state were 92 i>er
cent *no.’
“In Iowa where the ‘no’s’ were 95
per cent a bill to repeal the anti
cigarette law has been palled and
signed by the governor.
“A bill to repeal the anti-cigarette
law in Kansas, with 81 per cent ‘no’s,’
Is receiving the attention of Its legis
lature. Last year a petition for a
referendum In Oregon to prohibit the
use of tobacco failed of sufficient sig
natures to bring Uie question to a
vote, and 95 per cent of the editors
declare their public against legislation.
In Oklahoma aii anti-cigarette bill has
been ^reported unfavorably in the
house. The editors of that state re
ported 94 per cent against its public
support.
“Outside of Utah, where Mormon
tefluence predominates,** the article
concludes, *‘the anti-tobacco move
ment appears, as in the case of Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Iowa, to be los
ing ground and is not to any consid
erable extent supported by the peo*
pHs.**
1!he friends of tobacco feel particu
larly elated over this showing, inas
much as 1920-21 was a maximum year
