The increase in the number of cigarette cigar-ette smokers in America is a cause of considerable concern to parents who sen their sons willingly becoming slaves to the vile habit. L. is a sad thing lo see. boys, not yet out of their teens, congregated on street corners or in some out-of-the-way place sucking at the fateful drug, and we regret that the habit prevails to a eimsinyrabk: extent in this city. Loafing is a natural twin brother to cigarette smokine, the inhalation in-halation of the tobacco fumes combined with that of the. arsenic, soako:1. paper produces a lassitude, hardly noticable at first, which in.'.reasas with the habit. Statistics prove that the injury done is much greater when the habit is learned while very young ; if the habit is learned lifter arriving at maturity the results are not quilu so bad, but bad enough in ftny easo to cause one to assert their Inrtnhood and say: "I will smoke no tijoro of thorn." The medical ollicers, In their examination of volunteers for thi! present war, rejected a much greater proportion of applicants for serviee ser-viee than was clone among the Union Volunteers for the civil war, the cause being directly traceable in most cases to cigarettes. Some of them were so far sjone that their manhood was completly wrecked a horrible example. The cigarette fiend is au object of pity, to to bo commiserated not censured. It la a hard matter to propose a remedy , for the evil, but we believe that ill Utah it can be mitigated, and in time ontirely eradicated, if the young ghds, sisters and friends of the smokers, ould orgaui.e themselves with the set purpose pur-pose of effect ing' a change for the better. Let them firmly decide not to marry a cigarette smoker and work steadily An in the desire to reform. Kindness muAt dominate their every action: take thai man by the hand and lead him from liieij habit. Harsh measures do more hariu'j lhati good, ex.'epL in the earlie'-t stages when they might be effect ive. but even j th;s is doub;:'ai. Ilemeraber the cigar-1 ete iien.l is a slave, an object of pity, he has not manhood enough left to resist Ike unnatural craving wLhoui assist-sn-'t;. Help him ai! yon can. |
