formed; the cigar came next in point of harm- 

 lessness, while the pipe overshadowed the cigar 

 to the extent that from 70 to 90% of nicotine 

 was said to exist in its smoke. 



"As to the paper of cigarettes the attacks

"Men are well within their rights in forbid- 

 ding cigarette smoking and other pleasures and 

 distractions to their employes; it is another 

 matter when they seize an opportunity to com- 

 pound with vices they have a mind to, by damn- 

 ing one they're not inclined to, especially when 

 the latter affords solace and recreation to mil- 

 lions perfectly capable of judging what is and 

 what is not good for them. In Europe where 

 a good deal of logical thinking still prevails, 

 there is probably not one smoker of distinction 

 in any walk of life who does not include the 

 cigarette in his nicotian armamentarium."
