PREFACE
Tobacco, in its various forms, is one of the most mischievous of all drugs. There is perhaps no other drug which injures the body in so many ways and so universally as does tobacco. Some drugs offer a small degree of compensation for the evil effects which they produce; but tobacco has not a single redeeming feature and gives nothing in return for the$1,500,000,000.00 which it costs the nation annually, besides the 100,000 lives which it probably destroys.
It has long been known to medical men, chemists and pharmacists, that tobacco is one of the most deadly of all the many poisonous plants known to the botanist. . . .
How marvelous the ability to so camouflage its venom that millions of men are made to believe harmless a weed which almost everyother living creature than man, great and small, recognizes and avoids as a baneful poison! Alcoholism, the opium habit and tobaccoism are a trio of poison habits which have been weighty handicaps to human progress during the last three centuries. In the United States, the subtle spell of opium has been broken by restrictive legislation; the grip of the rum demon has been loosened by theProhibition Amendment to the Constitution, but the tobacco habit still maintains its strangle-hold and more than one hundred million victims of tobaccoism daily burn incense to the smoke god. . . .
Tobacco has not yet been fully tried before the bar of science. But the tribunal has been prepared and the gathering of evidence has begun and when the final verdict is rendered, it will appear that tobacco isevil and only evil; that as a drug it is far more deadly than alcohol, killing in a dose a thousand times smaller. . . .
When the whole truth is known about tobacco, and every man, woman and child in this great Republic has been made acquainted with the appalling facts about this noisome weed, the vocation of the tobacconist will become as unsavory as that of the saloonist, and in due time anenlightened society will purge itself of this unclean and hateful thing. . . .

WOMEN SMOKE LESS THAN MEN AND LIVE LONGER
The mortality statistics show six male deaths to five female decedents. Sufficient cause for the greater life expectancy in women is to be found in their being less addicted to the use of alcohol and tobacco. It is claimed that ninety percent of all men smoke, whilecomparatively few women do so. The use of alcoholic liquors by women is much less than by men. Hunter has shown that the mortality of moderate drinkers is double that of abstainers, and according to Dwight, the records of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company covering sixty years show that the mortality of smokers is 57.6 per cent greater than that of non-smokers. . . .
The great excess ofmale over female deaths begins at the age period from 15–25 years, the age when the smoking habit usually becomes established, and reaching its maximum at the age period of 40–44 years, the time of life when full maturity has been achieved and the old age process naturally begins. This is shown first in the hardening of the crystalline lens and the consequent loss in range of accommodation. In...
