INDICTMENT OF THE CIGAR.
Again the''Lancet"considers the burn ing question of the deleterious effectsof the three forms of smoking- the pipe, the cigarette, and the cigar. After investigation, it finds that it is not so much the smoking as the form of smoking which matters. Judged by the possible deleterious effects of nicotine and other constituents, the pipe, it says, is least harmful, and the cigarette less so than the cigar. The argument given against the latter is that tne condensing process has a tendency to travel thoughout the cigar, and the deleterious matter is thus" conveyed in increasing quantities, as the cigar burns, to the mouth. In the pipe there is a most effective condenser, while in the cigarette the unhampered combustion causes less of the unpieasant products to reach the system.
