City's Battle Against Smoking Goes Back Centuries

In the early 19th century, cigar-smoking pipes were replaced as a target of protest. In 1817, a visitor from abroad wrote that among the sites that have struck most foreigners was "the custom of smoking cigars in the streets (even followed by some of the children)."

In 1839, The Evening Post complained that "the harm of smoking on the streets has increased significantly recently," and the atmosphere in the rooms of Broadway "is almost as amazing and shocking to tobacco smoke that the air in the room the traveler in a tavern High Dutch. "

Smoke inside was considered even more offensive.A news article in 1853 reported that the passenger caught smoking in a Sixth Avenue trolley was controlled by a driver to stop, "but the ladies and gentlemen who have the misfortune of being in the car at the time, their clothes are so besmoked that odor of secondhand smoke, remained with them until the next day.

"In 95 percent of the reading material published on cigarettes and tobacco are shown to be essential," said Dr. Emile D. Martin, the WCTU of New York County Superintendent. "In the stories of all classes of literature , the hero, although it may be a subject to be translated saint, a Christian evangelist and philanthropist is surrounded by a halo of 'white wreaths curling Havana invaluable.
