The number of cigarettes smoked in The United States during the year has now passed the total of 50,000,- 000,000, according to the internal revenue bureau. This gigantic fig 'ure means, if it is assumed that some of the women and most of the child ren have not yet taken to cigarettes, that the average male cigarette smok er in the United States must account for at least five a day. Each year since the world war the yearly cigarette total has Increased by approximately 5,000,000,000. Ex pert opinions among the tobacco au thorities attribute the rapid increase to several causes. C. F. Crosby, edi tor if the Tobacco Record, points out that, during the war several billions of cigarettes were distributed by ser vice organizations at home and abroad and millions of persons began to smoke them. Furthermore, cigaret tes have been advertised continually and extensively. The total consumption of tobacco in the United States has been increas- j ing rapidly during the last 20 years, j and although the United States pro duces about one-third of the tobacco . crop of the world it now consumes! about two-thirds of its production. By the figures this is the tobacconist nation of the world. In a year’s crop of 1.500.000.000 pounds of tobacco are exported, and the remaining billions pounds may be divided roughly into four equal parts by weight for use a-s chewing tobacco, for pipe smoking, j for cigars and for cigarettes, taking j out about 30,000,000 pounds for snuff.
