AMERICAN CIGARETTE FIENDS
CONSUME FIFTY BILLION OF
“COFFIN NAILS" ANNUALLY
United States, Greatest Tobacco Grow
ing Country in World, Suses Most
Os Crop for Own Consumption.
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.
