rettes Gain Back Part of
Lung-Cancer Scare Losses as
Quiet Public9s Nerves
The dose of business in 1955
saiw the downward trend in cigar
ette smoking turn , upward after
sharp drops in 1953 and ’54 but
the' nicotine trade has yet to re
gain the pinnacle of 436.8 billion
cigarettes puffed in 1952.
The long cancer scare which
popped out in late ’52 halted a
trend as old as the cigarette busi
ness —' feat is an increased sale
each yepr oyer the previous year.
From that ail-time high of 436.8
billion in ’52 the ‘“coffin tack”
trade dropped to ' 425.3 billion in
’53 and fell even ipore in ’54 when
Isales slumped to 402.6 billion.
Evidence of the shortmindedness
of Urn smoking public, plus new
gadgets pushed suddenly ahead in
the tobacco business came with
Iji'fe totfe aides tor’55.
rt of the gain
to clever ad
sales that year.
But with the full blast of lung
cancer publicity that came in ’53
the nicotine addicts unable to go
all the way with the lung spec
ialist went part way with the ad
vertising slogans and boosted the
filter tipped cigarette sales to 10.0
billion. Representing a filter tip
boost of 6.8 billion in a year when
overall-cigarette sales were drop
ping 11.5 btoliaQ,
But in'’54 with total weed sales
still tumbling and by another 22.7
billion the filter tips zoomed up
ward to 34.9 biUios and in ’55
this figure was more than doubled
as the filtered portion of the nico
tine market climbed to 72.9 billion.
In five short yean the filters
bad moved froral.8 billion to 72.9
biffion.
Adversity (the lung - cancer
scare) proved to be a blessing to
toe cigarette manufacturer, if a
toe tobacco grower.
