Cites Dangers
Of Cigarettes
By DR. SOPHIA BRUNSON
"Well, I was in hopes that Susie
would not take up the habit of
cigarette smoking," said a dis
tressed mother. "Of course, I
didn't mind the boys smoking, as
I knew they would anyway, but
I don't like to see a girl smoke.
It just doesn't look well and for
that reason I don't want my girl
to smoke."
Tne mother s reason was a |
very poor one, and naturally, had
no influence on her daughter, be
cause Susie thought that smok
ing was smart and fashionable.
The real reason for not smoking
is found not in looks, but in the
harm that the cigarette docs to
the smokers, whether they be
male or female.
We are told by scientists that
the burning of the tobacco with
its glycerin content makes a com
bination with the paper that
forms a poison know as acrolein.
This chemical is very toxic and
has a special affinity for the
nerves. It acts as a dope.
At first it exert? a sedative or
quieting effect upon the system,
and then the cigarette user be
gins to crave the fags. As the
habit fastens itself upon the vic
tim his nerves show irritation,
and he finds himself quite nerv
ous, and in the clutches of a ha
bit that is apparently as difficult
to break as that of opium.
The acrolin is not the only pri
son that the cigarette contains.
The nicotine of the tobacco it
? really such a virulent poison
that it is used as an insect ex
terminator. Even the smoke of
cigars and cigarettes, if blown
upon lice-infected plants, will
destroy the pests.
There are also other injurious
agencies in cigarette smoke. For
example, ammonia and the dead
ly carbon monoxide. Besides, tar
ry substances and heat cause
much local irritation to the nose,
throat and eyes.
Confirmed smokers are more
generally underweight, and sub
ject to colds and other respira
tory troubles than the non-smok
ers. One of the most pitiable
cruitures, known as the Skeleton
Man, was seen by the writer
some time ago. He was earning a
livelihood by exhibiting himself
in a little sidesho*. He was
practically destituA of flesh and
looked more like a mummy than
a human being. Hq said that his
plight was due to the incessant
smoking of cigarettcs. He smok
ed practically all the time and
couldi not do without them.
0 The habit of cigarette smoking
has never yet served a tueful
purpose, but it has done much
harm.
