It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work.

The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein."

Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes.
