Show All Men Do Not Smoke. New Ycrk Sun. It is not true that "all men smoke." It would be safe to say that at least one-third of the full-grown men in this city never use tobacco in any shape. This conclusion has been reached by the present wrjir-r Ar.iqaUX APA- ob.ser-,. vation. Not one-third of thepedestrinns in the streets are seen smoking at any hour of the day or evening. In several largo business establishments, which may be taken as examples of concerns of that kind, it was found that just about one-third of the employes were smokers. In an up town club three-quarters three-quarters of the members were found to be smokers. In a number of big boarding board-ing houses a majority of the boarders were smokers. It is, of course, impossible impos-sible to tell the exact proportion of the population that is given to habitual smoking; but let it stand at two-thirds until the statistics are furnished by the Anti-Tobacco society. |
