This was shown by experi ments here on 100 college stu dents of the University of Georg ia, 50 of whom were smokers and 50 non-smokers. The smokers show more finger tremor as a result of the smok ing than do non-smokers. Dr. A. S. Edwards, who conducted the experiment, reports in the Journal of Applied Psychology. This he attributes to the fact that the habitual smoker generally in- hales. For non-smokers, the finger trembling went up 18 per cent. I ' What causes the tremor? Is it (ousness as a result of going with For smokers the increase was 39 j the nicotine? To test this point, out smoking it did not show up per cent.
