DOMESTIC CIGARETTE PRODUCTION
AND CONS IVIPTION.

A
DOMESTIC CIG ~'~ARETTYPR(7DUCTION AND'CONSUMPTION
The most meaningful analysis of'the current status of'the United!States ciga,
rette manufacturing industry might be achieved by quoting the headlines of
some of the articles contained in this section of the newsletter. From the
July 161issue of the United States Tobacco Journal -"'Distribution Sales Up
1% in 5~ Months," from the July 30 issue of the same magazine -'"Cigarette
Tax Income Rose Sharply in June." From The Wall Street Journall August 5 -
"Cigaret-Tax Receipts and Volume Rose in June From Tobacco, Juily 24 -
"Lower Federal Tax Take Reflects Health Scare" and "Cigarette Shipments Off ;
.
Cigar Output Swings Up." From Tobacco, July 3-'"Cigarette Use Declined 6.5*
in, First Half "64" and July 17,' - "U. S'. Cigarette Consumption Shows Almost
Steady Gain."' From The Wall Street Journal, July 15 - "Cigaret Tax Receipts
Rose in a Majority of States Last Month from Year Earlier." Market Research
will not attempt an explanation of'how cigarette use can decline 6.5%while
cigarette consumption shows almost steady gain, nor why the health scare is
reflected by lower federal tax take while cigarette tax receipts rose in a
majority of states.
Several of'the cigarette companies have issued financial statements for the
first half'of'1q64. Lorillard reports that net income and sales are off'for
this period. Both American Tobacco and R. J. Reynolds report increasedd earn-
ings, although ReynoTd's" sales are off'.
Includied in this issue is an article from United States Tobacco~Journal con-
cerning cigarette advertising expenditures in major media last year as listed
in Advertising Age. Six tobacco firms are included!in the list of the 500
largest industrial corporations in this country published in the July issue
of Fortune magazine. These companies are; R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
American Tobacco Company, Philip Morris,, Inc.,, P. Lorillard,, Liggett & Myers
Tobacco Company, and Consolidated~Cigar Corporation.
Carl J. Carlson, president of'the Cigar Manufacturers Association, predicted'
annual cigar sales of 15 billion in ten years in an address bef`.ore the Southern
Wholesale Tobacco and Candy Association in Atlanta.
Snuff sales at Goike's Kashub Snuff Company in Detroit during the first six
months of' 1964 were up approximately 8' per cent over the similar period last
year.
Chairman of the Board and Chief'Executive Officer of'Liggatt & Myers Tobacco
Company Zach Toms d!ied in July at the aga of' 63,. Mr. Toms had a distinguished
career as tobacco executive and in numerous industry,, civic and charitable
organizations. He is succeeded by Milton E. Harrington..
Both Tobacco and the United States Tobacco~Journal carried articles concerning
a recent study made by C-E-I-R, Inc., Washington D. C. economic research and
computer sciences company., The study revveais the impact of the tobacco industry
on~thecountry"s economy.

over the similar period last year, Stu-
art Goike, sales. manager of the 70

He attributed the increase to several
factors. "We made more personal calls

money on Tromotionali activity during
this period," said Mr. Goike. "We also
introduced, a new one-pound carton'
that gained' popularity immediately.
"There was no increase in cost to
the consumer as the changeover from
a glass jar to a lighter-weight, heat-

by about onc-half:"

sharply from t'he: January health, scare; ac-
cording to a preliminary, incomplete report on
state tax collhrtinns in June.
For the first', tinie, since Issuance of' the
IliSurge.oa General's report in January, monthly
gnles of cigaret tax stamps increased'In June

Tax Association, repnrtcd'.
Sales increases from a year earlier were
repnrted in 29 of' the 4'a states for which re-
pcmta were available, up from two states In
\Tay and eight in April.
An official cautioned that statist9cs are
throNvn out of line sor'newhat by cigaret taxx
increases in about a, third, of the cigareG tax
states from May through July 1963. This had
accentuated year-to-year declines In a num-

in inereascs of several states in June 1964. Inn
these states; retailers stocked, cigarets abnor-
mally high in May 1963 in advance of tax in-
creases taking effect hr June lastl year. This
resulted in an abnormal drop in atamp sales
In June 1963.
The association said that, all' told, tax rate
changes were apparently a: factor In increases
for 12'states last month, including Mtssiasippi,
where a 2&7ryjo gain from a year earlier was
partly attributable: to advance stamp buying
ahead of'a July 1, 1964 tax'increase.,

tax revenue reflected a sizable advance sale

CHICAGO -Cigaret sales are recovering
~sharply from the! Jranuary, health, scare ac-
cnrding to a; preliminary, incomplete report on
state tax collections in June.
For the firstl time since i'sstrance of the
i i Simgcon General's report ih, January, monthly I
Galrs of cip-aret tax stamps increasedlin Junel
in ai meji~rity of states, the rilat'ional, Tobacco'.
Tax Association reported'.
Sales increases from a, year earlier were
reported in 29 of' the 4t slntesi for which re-
hrnds were available, up from two states in
NTay and eightl In April.
An official cautioned that statistics aree
thrown out of~ line somewhat by cigaret tax
increasrs in afinut a, third of the cigaret tax
states from May through July 1963. This had
accentuated year-to-year declines ih a num-
ber of states during May 1964 and was a factor
in increases of' several states In June 1964. Inn
these states; retailers stocked cigarets abnnr-
mally high in May 7983' in advance of tax in-
ereases taking, effect ih June last' year. This
resulted in an, abnormal drop in stamp sales
in June 1963.
The association said' that, all tol'd, tax rate
changes were apparently a factor In ihcreases
for 12 states last month, including Miississippi
where a 25.7~/n gaih, from a year earlier was
partly attributable to advance etamp, buying
ahead of' a July 1, 1984 tax Increase.
On the other hand, there were several in-
stances among, the dozen states reporting June
declines where sizable drops were attributadte i
to year-earll;er tax rate legislation. For ex-1
ample, in Connecticut, wherei collections were
down almost a third ih June, the year-earSl.er
tax revenue reflected a sizable advance sale
of atamps preparatory to a July 1, 1983;
increase.
The association official also said it might
be several months before it could' be verified
that, the spurt in the number of', states report-
ing increases over a year ago was a definite
trendl He recalled that signs of recovery,
shown in March weren't borne out in, April
and' May:
Among,populous states reporting Increases
in June were New York, 10'.7ryn; Pennsylvania,.
8:9%; Ohio, 8,8%; Texas, 7.7%; New Jersey,

He attributedlthe increase to several
factors., "We made more personal calls

introduced a, new one-pound carton
that gained popularity immediately.
"There was no increase in cost to

Irmpact' of IP'HS' Reportl on, thie Tobacco Industry
AMliAN71A. GA., Friday-By 1'97d4
cigar sales in the United States shouldl
totall some,1I5 billion units, about double
tod'ay's figures;, Carl J. Carlson, presi-
dent of the Cigar Manufa<tu:rers A'sso., ciation, said ini an address before the
recent convention, here of' the Southern
Wholesale Tobacco & Candy Associa-
tion.
In, his speech,, Mr. Carlson, who is
president of Garcia y Vega, Inc., notedl
Rhe impact of the Surgeon General's
report' on the entire t'obacco industry
and pointed out' how the situation can
he exploited by the distributors.
Following is the text of Mr. Carlson's
address at the convention:
Cigars have been the subject of a
great deal of' publicity in recent months,
and' all' indications are that 1964 willl
be, a banner year for the indus^t'ry. It
is reasonable to assume that as cigar
sales increase the various state taxing,
authorities may well look vponi cigars;
as, they have in the past, as a possible
source of'revenue or additional revenue.
When thi'soccursI wantl you, tioknowthat we at CMA are prepared to supply
you, with, materiall which will be help-
ful' to you in the presentation of valid
and logical arguments in opposition to
state cigar taxes.
I have already indicated that cigars
have been the subject of a great deall
of publicity in recent months andl I
might paraphrase by saying, tha,t,
"SSomething funny happened to our in-
dustry on its way through January."
I don't think there is a soul in this:
room who is unaware of the document
known, as the Surgeon General's Re-
-port. I would be less than honest if I
did not frankly admit that the report
was and is responsi:ble for the breath-
less rocketing, of cigar sales.
The latest sales figures that we have
available are those for April, and Ii am
happay to tell you that the withdrawals
of cigars for the month of' April' 1D64
were 2L3.68 per cent above Arpril of
1963. For the first four months of this
year cigar sales were 31.5' per cent
ahead of -the same periodl in 1963. ,This
percentage increase resolved, into units
means that we have sold or removed
for sale 2;878,837;090' cigars in the
first four months of 1964, which is
G88;765;Q0O more cigars than were re-
moved' in the first four months of 1961
MayTop1192p
Accordintt to availhble statistics; the ,
cigar industry reached its highest peak,'
in 1920, when consumers supposedly
purchased 8:5 billion cigars. The, move-
ment of cigars thus far this year, pro-
jectied through the end of' the year,
spells out a consumption of' close ta fl'
billion cigars for the year 1964. Myy
own estimate is that the year 1064 will,
wind' up with a gain i of' somewhere be:
tween 16 per cent and 18 per centy
which would mean total withdrawalb
of somewhere between 8,3' and 8.6 bil-
lion.
Despite khe f'act' that I', never 1et
optimism run away with me and II am
basically a oonservative Individual, I
still shara (Cigar Institute of tll,meriea
Fresident), Gene Raymond's view that
itl is not unrealistic to look toward the
year 1974', 10 years hence, as one in
which, we willl see a consumption of' 15
billion cigars, annually-double today's
figures:
Never in the history of the cigar in-
dustry have,so many non cigar smokers
been sampled, and at their own exe
pense, as has been the case in the first
qparter of this year. We estimate thatt
literally millions of people purchaaed,
and sm.okedlcigars for the first time in,
their lives. Included: in this group are a
vast number of' women thus the ent'iree
economic picture for the cigar industry
has been dynamically broadened..
I do not believe that the Surgeon.
General's Report would have had' the
iirrpact on cigar sales that it has were
it not for the fact that the cigar indus-
try had long: before cleaned up 'its
house;, developed new appealing prod'&
ucts such as the slender cigarillo types,
the fashionably trim panetelas andl ct-
gars with most attraotive plastic tips.
Moreover the cigar industry made a
night and day change in the over-a11l
packaging and merchandising, aspect of'
the business.
For the past 10' years the industry
has engaged in a,program of'total re-
search which embraces the agronomy
level which has produced' for us milder,,
tastier cigars . . . at the production lev-
el it has enabled the industry to deliv-
er to -the consumer what is stilli one of
the few great' bargains of today ...
atl the marketing level it has directly
aff'ected' you.
Supporting, all of' this is a rna,(esticc
barrage of advertising. Whereas only
10 years ago the industry's over-all
adbertising dollar totalled approximate-.
ly $8 million; ini 1964 ccigar advertisers
will, put $36 million behind their brands.
Every conceivable media has been sum*
monedi to ~the front', lines. Our major ci-
gar companies are high up on the list
of' natlional'televisioni users: Their space
in newspapers and magazines is most
Impressive and!, of course, radio has

come in for Its full' share of' thi's bo-
nanza.
I do not think that anybody will;
question the fact that to a large degree
public opinion has been rettabllitated,
The cigar, the cigar smoker, and the
cigar Industry have a d'eairabl'e and
exciting image in the public eye. This
change in' attitude and image vqilC be_
sustained in part because the mation's
opinion makers in f'unneling, their mil,
lions of words and' pictures have a4aanp,
doned the old cliehes and have adopted
a constructive attitude. This can only
mean, succeeding generations will be-
come cigar, conscious more than everr
and accordingly will respond to the
itttnulus generate& by all, ass' these
thi'ngs that I have jwst' polnted out..
Since i I hold all' that I have spoken
ta be krue there must be a meaningg
economically for each of us. You anust
keep informed and must shift tnost
q,uickly away from any otbol'ete thihik - .
ing and adopt all new information to
the conduct of your, busines&! In this:
case itl is cigars. Your salesmen and'
your admilniatrative people as well
should be constantly apprised of the
great forces that are,working for them...
There is no longer room, for doubt or
hesitation, there i's only room for ac-
tion, more action and more action.
I't is up to you to generate and' Ihn-
part to the people in your organisation,
the ret;ailers weMom you, supply, and the
consumers in,your, marketing area with
whom you have cont'act', an enthusiasm
for cigars which are today more of a
favorable conversation piece than they
have been in the memory span of' most
of us.
You can be an, eff'ectl*e force ln
Inspiring the retailer to ntercharidlae
more effectively through Inviting dib-
plays andl modern stores fixiuures.. You
can stress to all concerned' the need
for proper humidificatiba so that this
periahable product will always reach
the smoker in goodl condition.
You can yourselves be well informed'
so that the interested! cigar amoker,
either new or old, can, look to you as
an authority, when he wants to knorov..
something about cigars, as many d'o.
To obtain the maximum advantagewof'f
the potential that is being made avail~
able to you, you will have to be a partt
of' the new era that is before us.

' ' obacco Study in Depth
Reveals I~npact on E~conomy
ARLIN(:TON; VA. - C'onsumer
gpending, of over $7.7 billion for to-
bacco prodiictsproviclhs$2.9billlon
in personal and' business incomes, em-
ployment for more than one million
penple,, and almost $4: billion in fed-
eral and state taxes, according to an
independent economic study revealed
recently.
The exhaustive analysis ofl the eco-
nomic impact of the tobacco industry
was conducted by C-E-I-R, Inc., Wash-
ington, I). C;, economic research and
compruer sciences company. The study
is one,of'the first of its kind of' a major
American industry.
Containing, more than 10',000 figures
that show the impact of the tobacco
industry on the national economy as
well as each of the 50 states, the study
was developedl with the aidi of power-
ful', computers and the use of' advanced
scientific techniques that heretofore
have been used primarily on govern-
ment-sponsored projects.,
The study, accompanied by a state-
ment by Dr. Arthur E. Burns, a noted
economist and a, C-E-1-R consultant,
was filed with the House Committeee
on Ihterstate and Foreign Commerce,
whichI currently is conducting hearings
on the indlrstry:
Lester Tepper, C-E'-II-R's chief econ-
omist who directed the study, said his
company was engaged by the P. Loril-
]hrd Co. to conduct an "objective, in-
dependent examination toset, forth~
the basic economic facts of the indus-
tryThe study, which examines all'
phases oftheindustryf'rom, the~farmtoi the consumer as well as its inter-
rel'ationships with other industries;, was
basedl on 1982 data, the last year for
tvhich eomplete information was avail-
able.
In his statement to Congress,, Dr.
Burns, who is a, professor of economics
at George Washington University,, said.
"the tobacco Industry . . has an im
pact on the economy far beyondl itss
own bounds. It affects not only its owni
empl'oyees, immediate suppliers andl
customers but also many other parts
of the economy by its demands which
radiate out ini every direction."
Virtually every significant component
of the national economy is connected
with the tobacco industry in one way
or another. The C-E-I-R study traces
these relati.anships by a complete in-
ter-indiistry analysis which aggregates
and' measures tfie tobacco industry's
direct and indirect reqpirements from, '
each of' 190 other sectors of! the econ-
omy.
Excluding the personal consumption,
,of the inrl'ustry's employees, the in-
dustry generates, for example, $65
millioni in sales for auto industry prod',
ucts, $59 million for petroleum prod~
ucts; $49 million for electric power;.
$171 million, for chemical's,, cellophane
and filter materials; $260 million for
F aper and paperboardl;, $1'31 million,
or raill and! truck, transport'ation, andl
$68 millioni for products of'' iron"andl
steell mills and foundries.
The number of'jobs created in direct
and indirect supplier i'ndlustries is
estimated at, 1'85,000. This does not in-
chide employment within the tobacco
industry itself nor government em~1oy-
ment generated by the industry s$4
billion tax bill.
The ] 17-page C.E'-I-R report pro-
duced these, other, 1982highlightsa
The industry provides work, for 1'.3
million people, or approximately 2.1
per cent ofl totall private employment..
Americans spend $8.8 billion anr
nually for cigarettes, and $7'.7 billion
for all tobacco products.
Of every dollar spent on tobacco
products 43 cents (or $3.3 billion))
is collected, for excise and sales taxes,,
38 cents (2.9 billion ) goes for wages,,
salaries farm and business, income;
and 1!9 cents ($1.5' billion) is used'
b~, the industty to make direct pur-
ses, from other parts of the econ-
omv:,
When income and other taxes col-
lected from~ the industry are added to
excise and sales taxes paid by the
consnmer,, over one half' ($4 billion)
of the money spent on tobacca ends
up as governmentall revenue.
In proportionAo its sal'es volume, the
ind;nstry contributes four times the na-
tional average in exeise and sales taxes.
State tobacco excises exceed five per
cent of'the total,state tax revenues in
over 30 states.
I'ndustryemployeesand farmers
spend $1.6 billion on personal con-
sumption (e.g., housing, food; clothing,
recreation)'.
Consumer spending on tobacco
products is nearly half the total spentfor new cars and more than the totall
spent for either personal, care; auto
repair and parking; private education
and publications; furniture; telephone
and, telegraph; shoes and footwear;
drugs and sundries; or for radio and
TV sets, records and musical instru-
ments.
The nation has 4'18;p000 farms in 286
states that provide work for 883,000
persons in producing a tobacco crop
with a cash value of $1.3' billion. To-
bacco acc,ounts for 3.8 per cent of' all!
farm cash receipts.
Some 70,000 peoplle- engagedl in tm
bacco manufacturing in 29' states earn
wages and', salaries of' $324 million,
Another 45,000 engaged' in leaf hanr
dling and proeessingearn$215 million.
There are 908i5001 wholesale and re-
taill outlets fhr tobacco products, not
inelud'ing, casual, retail outlets. An esti-
mated' 3116;000 people,, whose incomes
total $790 millloni derive employment
from the distribution of'' tobacco prod-
ucts:
In his statement to the congressional
committee, Dr.. Burns pointed out that
industry production, both, farming and
manufacturing; is "highly concentratedl
in, a half dozen states which dependl
heavily on tobacco as a source of i'ne come and, employment."
North and South Carolina, Ken-
tucky, Virginia, Georgia and Tennes-
see account f'or, over 90, per cent of'i
the farms, acreage, cash receipts and
farm employment. Some 30'.4 per cenY
of' all farm cash receipts in the six
states is derived from tobacco.
"Those states," said Dr. burns,,
"would' undoubtedly feel a, major imr
pact from any significant shift in the
consumption of tobacco products."

in personal and business incomes,, em-
ployment for more than one millionn
people, and almost $4 billion' in fed-
eral and state taxes, according to an
independent ec.cmomic study revealedl
recently.
The exhaustive analysis of' the eco-
nomic impact of the tobacco indtrstry
was conducted by C-E-L-R, Inc., Wash-
ington, I2: C., economic research and!
eomputer sciences company. The study
is one of'tlie first of its kind'of a major
American industry.
Containing more than 10,000 figures
that show the impact of the tobacco
industry on the national economy as
well as each of the 50 ,states the stud{y
was developed with the aid of power-
ful,computers and the use of'advanced'
scientific techniques that' heretofore
have been used primarily' on, govern-
ment-sponsored projects.
The study, accompanied by a state-
ment by Dr. Arthur E. Birrns a noted'
economist and a C-E-I-R consultant,
was filed with the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
which currently iscondlrcting hearingss
on the industry.
Lester Tepper, C-E-I-R's' chief econ-
omist who directed the study, said his
company was engagedl by the P Loril'
lard Co. to, condUct an "objective, in-
dependPnt' examination to set forthh
the basic economic facts of'the indus-
try..
The studly, which examines, alll
phases of' the industry from the farm,
to the consumer as well as its inter-
relationships with other industries, was
based on 1962' data, the last year for
which complete information was availL
able.
In his statement to Congress, Dr.
Burns, who is a' professor of economics

"the tobacco industry ..., has an im-
pact on the economy far beyond its
own bounds. It affects not only its own
employees, immediate suppliers and
customers, but also many other' parts
of the economy by its demands which
radiate out in every direction."
Virtually every significant componentt
of, the national economy is connected
with the tobacco ind'ustry in one way
or another. The C-E-I-R study' traces
these relationships by a complete in,
ter-industry analysis which aggregates
and measures the tobacco industry's
direct and indirect reqpirements from,
each of 190 other sectors of the econ-
omy. ,
Excl'udiing ttie personal consumption
~f the irodristry"s employees, the inr
dustry generates, for example, $65
million in sales for auto indiist'ry, prodl
rtcts, $59 million for petroleum prod -
uctc; $49 million for electric power;
$173 million for chemicals,, cellophane
and filter materials; $260' million forr
paperand'paperboard; $113'1 millionn
for rail and truck transportation; and
$68 million for products of fron ' and.
steel, mills and foundries.
The number of jpbs created In direct'
and indirect suppl'ier' industries' is
estimated at 185',000; This' does not in-
chide employment within the tobacco
industry itselfl nor government employ-
ment generated by the inchistry s$4
billion tax billl.
The 117-page C-E:hR report pro,
diiced, these other' 1962 highligHts:,
The industry provides work for 1.3
million people, or approximately 2.1
per cent of total private employment.
Americans spend $6'.8' billion an-
nually for cigarettes,, and $7.7 billionn
for all tobacco products.
Of every dollar spent', on tobacco
products, 43' cents (or $3!3 billion))
is collectcd! for excise and' sal'es taxes,
38 cents (2.9 billion), goes for wages,
salaries, farm and' business income;;
and! 19: cents ($11.5'billion)isused
by the industry to make direct pur-
chases from, other parts of the econ,
omy. When income and other taxes col;
lectedl from the industry are added too
excise and sales taxes paid by the
consumer, over one half'($4 billion)
of' the money spent on tobacco ends
up as governmental' revenue.
In proportion to its sales vol4rme, the
industry contributes four times' the na.
tional average in excise and' sales taxes.
State tobacco excises exceed' five per
cent of the total state tax revenues in
states that provide work for 883;0000
persons in producing a tobacco, crop
with a cash value of $1.3' bill'ion. To-
bacco accounts for 3.6 per cent of all
farm cash receipts.
Some 70,000 people-- engaged I in, to-
bacco, manufacttrring, in 29' states earn
wages and salaries of, $324 million.
Another 45,000 engaged'in leaf Han+
dlin and processing earn $215 million..
T~ere are 908,500 wholesale and re:
taill outlets for tobacco products, not
including casual' retail outl'eta: An esti-
mated 3'16,000 people, whose incomes
total $790, million, derive employment'
from the distribution of tobacco prod-
ucts.
In his' statement to the congressionali
committee, Dr. Bunmspointed out' that industry production, both farming and'
manufacturing, is "highly concentrated
in a half dozen states which depend
heavily on tobacco as a source of in-
eome and employment."
North andi South Carolina, Ken-
tucky, Virginia, Georgia andl Tennes-
see account for aver 90 per, cent of
the farms, acreage; cash, receipts and'd
farm i employment. Some 30.4 per cent, ~of' all farm cash receipts in the sixx
states is derived' from tobacco.
"Those states," said Dr. Biurns,
"would undoubtedly feel a major lm-
pact from any significant shift in the

'"YES, BUT WILL IT LAS To?'-
T'hc'eigar busi!ness is booming, but some
cigar makers are stil'l fearful of the fa,
ture. They see possible trouble ahead.
"Suee sUsIrrESS is good-but' that's!
only because people are scared. The
questionl is: Willi' they stay scared?"
A cigar maker was!talking. Biis sales
were up; his profits were up; he wass
looking forward! to his best year since.
1920~, which, incidentally, was the,beste year in the history of the cigar
industry: He couldn't help feelingg
elated. And yet, at, the same ttm!e,,
he cou!Idn't help worrying:
His elation, was easy to understand.
Until the Surgeon General's reportt
linking cigarette smoking to lung can-
cer came out tast January, the cigar
fndustry was a dying one. And no
matter how much they spent oni adl-
vertising,, the cigar makers couldn't
aeemi todiamucho toreviveit..
Those Womeni' The trouble was that'
since 1920',, when cigar sales hit a highi
of 8;5 billion, cigar smoking, had,
become increasingNy unfashionablle
World War I' veterans preferred, thee
more handy-to-ca.rry cigarette. Andl
the American, wom!an, frustrated cigam- maker adivertising by persuading,hus-
bands and boy friends to give up cii-
gars in favor of cigarettes on th!e
grounds that cigars, were "smellly."'
Whether or not the American wom-
an really was to blame, the fact re-
mains that after 1920 the number of'
regular cigar smokers went into, a
st'eady decline. By 1955, there were
only 2'.8 millioni left. And' they liter-
ally were a dying breed';, 75'% of them
were over 45.
True, there were about 7.8 million
Americans who smokedl cigars occay sionallly but they didn't help the in.-
dustry much. For, although the regur
ller cigar smokers constituted only 27%
of all cigar smokers, they consume
86% of' the industry's outputl
Then the industry began to adver-
tise heavily but couldn't offset past
losses: Although the male populla.-
tion of' the U.S, aged 21 and over
rose fa^om, 311.6 million in 1920 to 53:6
million in, 1963; the consumption of
cigars actually felf by 13, billioni to
7~2 billh' on. Theconsumptione per capita
by males 21 'and over t'umbled from
269 to 134.
The Big Five. As sal'es of' cigars de-
clinedl, one cigar maker after another
eventually decided to, merge. The in-
dustry became concentrated in fewer
and fewer hands. By 1963,, just' five
companies were responsible for 73q'd'
of manufacturers' sales of' $437 mil-
lion: Consolidated Cigar, $132 million!;,
Generall Cigar, $69, million; Bayuk
Cigar, $53 million; Ameriean, Tobac-
co's cigar division, about $50 miulon,;
and' DWG Cigar, $19 million. .
mf' these, only Consolidated Cigar
could have been called a growth com-
pany. The others all had! a hiqtorr
of' erratic sales and earnings. The
year 1963 was the fitrst year of 1m-
provement over 19601 inn the cigar in,
dustry. The sales of' 7:2 billion were
up 221,000' from, the year before;, bu!tl
this increase had been achieved only
by intensive advertising;
Then the Surgeon General's report
appeared;' and says Eugene Raymond,
president of' the Cigar Inetitute,
"Something funny happenedl , . . fn,
spite of our advertising, some 10 mil-
lion new cigar smokers got started."'
I Happy Days, While cigarette - sales i
dropped sharply, sales of cigars rose
by 40% Ini the first quarter of' 1M.
They are certain to approach, If' not
quite reach, 1920's 8.51 billion. The cigar
makers are enJoying .ne of the. most
unexpected booms in the history of
American ind'usttry (see ta,ble,, p. 1'8).
"We're getting', a double shi!ft," says
Samuel Jl. Silberman, cha~irman o(
Consolidatedl Cigar., Veople,who used~
to smoke, both cigars andl cigarettes
are now smoking, more cigars Also,
we've got some new cigar smokers,
i'nclu!ding thousands of women:"'
Typicall of the new cigar smoker:
Sperry Rand' executive, Charlles H.
Nicholson Jr., a cigarette smoker since
he was 17. Last May he switched to
cigars. Why? "Sianple,"' says he. "I
.
didh.'t want to die of'cancer."'
What are some cigar makers wor-
ried' about? Why can't' they just rellax
and l en j,oy the boom7.
For one thing, they're af'raid! thatt
further research may indleate that
cigars are a hazard to health, too.
The Surgeon General's report advo-
cated smoking cigars In, moderation
for those who couldn't give up smok-
ing altogether, bu't a cigar maker'sayr.
"Look, I don't ttrust d'oct!ars: 8ooner'
or later they always find reasons why
"
what youu like is! bad for youw"'
Doleful History. More import'ant,
experience wou!ld! appear to indii-
cate that, sooner or later, the lmpact't
of the Surgeon General's report may
wear off. In 1953, IDrc Ernest L. Wynl-
der itnducedl skin cancer in mice by
pailnting, them with tars from, ciga-
rette smoke. There was a, audden,,
sharp drop in i cigarette sales, a minor
rise in cigar, sal!es: It was only a,
flurry. Soon, cigarette aales werei
back to normal and cigar sales were,
below where they had been.
Simillarly, in 1962, the British Royai
College of' Physicians' report on, ciga-
rettes and! lung cancer sent cigarette
sales plummeting andIcigar salles soar-
ing, but not for long, Today, sales of'
cigarettes in Britain, despite official
propaganda against them ever since,
again are reaching toward new kfghs!

Present Tax Stru!cihure
Called Regressive and'
Inequitable by Weiner
WIASIiI'I+iGTOI4', D. C., Friday-A
spokesman for the' cigar industry saidd
today that the:present "archaic brack-
et sy,stemi of taxing cigars ... results
in tax rates which are regressive; in-
equitable, arbitrary and illogical."'
Testifying before the House Ways
a:nd Means Committee, Dr. Clarence M.
Weiner,, econamist for the Cigar Manu-facturers Association of Ameriea;, at-
tacked the current tax structure and
proposed' as a substitute a manuflc-
ture:rs' excise tax levied atl a ratc of
not more than 8 per cent of the' manu-
facturers'' net selling' price.
"Such a tax would' eliminate alll of'
the serious inequities an& regressive
characteristics of' the present systemm
of' cigar taxation," Dr. Weiner'asserted.
"It would' also be easier to administer.
It would be fair to consumers as well,
as manufacturers, because it would be
a tax directly proportional to the sell-
ing price of cizars;" he added.
Also, testifying for the cigar manu-
facturers was, Leon Singer, a member
of the New York City law firm of
Blumbcrl;, Singer, Ross' & Gordon,
counsel to the CMA.
Following arc excerpts of Dr. Wein-
er's statement to the committee:
Of'the, many articles subject to Fed-
eral excise taxes, eigars' are the only
comnodity .vhose' tax is levied by
means of a, bracket systlem:. All' other
articles are taxed, either at a specific
rate (so much per pound, per gallon,
or other unit), or as a percentage off
the sclling, price, either retail or whole-
sale:
Cigars, however, are taxed on the,
hnsis of' sevlen ascending brackets.
Though, the tax, is paid by the manu-
facturer, the tax, rate on each of the
seven brackets is based on the "ordlin-
ary retail price" of a sing);e cigar in
its "principal market." This method
creates certain administrative prob-
1'ems which, the Internal Revenue Serv,
ice has not been able' to solve. ., . . Of
eveni great consequence, however the
1'Iracket, method of taxing cigars re-
sults in a whole series of' rate-structitre
defects wliichiare built into' the system.
In calendar year 1963, tthe nearly 7.2'
billion cil:ars removedl for consum'ption
in, the United States resulted in tax
collections of' $52.0 million. In thc' late
19401s and in' the 1'950's when 5.5
billian to almost 7'.0 billion cigars were
removed llor year, cigar tax, collections
ranged from $42 million to $50: million,
per year.
Thc.,e: are not large' sums in com-
parison to the 13.6 billions of dollars of
cxcise' taxes eollect'ed, on other com-
mndIties. However, as a, percentage of
the net valuc of all eigars soldl by
m.-inufacturers (g'',3F34 million in' 1963;
excluding excise taxes) the cigar in-
dustry's tax hill of $52' million repre-
senls an average't'ax rate of'13,6 per
749;
cent. This is more than nne-thirdl higher
than the 10 per:cent rate applicable to
most manufa:cturers" excise taxes,, and'
nenrly three times the 5 per cent rate
on manufacturers' sales of electric ap-
plianres, gas and oil appliances, andd
other commodit'ies..
This 13.6 per cent average cigar tax
rate, moreover, is hased on the "tem-
pol ary" tax increase that became ef-
fective' November 1, 1942. The wart'ime,
brackets and rates which we are' still
paying, more' thani quadrupled the' pre-
war cigar tax collections.
S~~yst'~em, Is~ R~eQpessivr
Another major objection to the pres-
ent cigar' tax is that it is highly re-,
gressive: The highest rates are l'evied'
on the mediurnrpriced andi lower-priced'd
cigars, andi the lowest rates are levied
on the highestl-priced cigars.
The Gwo lart;est.selling ciRar, classes
are the lower-priced Class C cigars, re-
tailing at from 5' cents to' 6s cenCs each,
with, removals in 1963: ' totalling nearlX
2,855 million cigars, and the medium,
priced Class E' cigars (retailing at over'.
8' cents to 16 cents each), totalling
2,574 million. The 6-cent and 6-cent
eigars of Class, C comprised nearly 40
.per cent of the approximately 7.2' bil-
lion cigars removed last year, and the
Class E cigars accounted for nearly
36 per cent of' the total.. Together,
classes C and E' aeeounted' for better
thani 75 per cent of all cigars removed
for consumption. The higher-.pricedi ci~
gars of classes F and G',(over 1'6'cenis
each) accounted'for only 6lper cent.
Almost half of' the cigar industry's
$52:0' million of excise taxes was paid
by the med'ium«priced Class E cigars,
$25,7' million., Nearly 22' per cent of the
total revenue was paid, by the 6-cent
and' 6-cent cigars of, Class C.
If we' define "low-priced cigars"' as
all, those retailing at S cents or less
(revenue classes A, B, C,, and D com-
bined), and, higher-priced cigars as
those selling for more, than 16' cents
each (classes F and G)6thenilow-priced
O
cigars paid 36.5; per cent of' the total
cigar tax; medium-priced, cigars paid
14.0 per cent of'the total' cigar tax.
Superficially these figures do not ap- CZ
pear to indicate that the cigar tax is s;lb
regressive: the higher-priced cigars 0
paid 141 per cent of the totall tax al~- U1i
.
though, they were only 6 per cent of'the f.%)
cigars removed, while' the low-priced
cigars paid 36.5 per cen',t' of the tax
although they comprised 68:1 per cent
of all cigar removals.

In, point of' fact however, this mis-
lreading impression is created, because
every revenue class','bracket encom-
passes a range: of retail cigar prices,,
and the brackets hide the:t'ax-rate in-
equities within, each bracket. To un-
eover, these inequities and the' truly
regressive and' arbitrary effects of' the
tax-bracket system, it is necessary to
examine the tax rate on each cigar'
withiln' the brackets, and the entire
ra:nge, of cigar tax rates from the low-
est to the highest.
The: brackets result in tax rates thatt
are arbitrary: The rates on all cigars
priced at up to 20 cents each jump
up and down, like the lines on a seismo-
graphic recording of an earthquake.
Among the highest, rates are', those on
the 2i1/-cent and 3-cent cigars (1G.&
per c':ent)',, anril 17, per cent on the 10.
cent cig;lr.
Amonfi' the lower rates are the 1'0.4'
pcr cent rate on the' 6-cent cigar, and
11.2' per cent on, the' 15-cent cigar-
with alll sorts of erratic variations in
between these rates of' clas'ses: A
through F.
Cigar'tax rates are',regressive. The
very highest-priced cigars, those of:
revenue Class G,,pay'taxes c:onsider-
abTy lower than average. The tax rate
on all Class C cigars is $2'0' per thous-
and. On the 26-cent cigar this amounts
to 13.5' per cent of the manufacturers'
price. The tax rate drops sharply, andd
steadily, as the retail, price goes up.
The rate is 8 per cent on the 40-cent
eigar;,6.6 per centl on the 50-cent'cigar,.
3.2' per cent on' the $11.00 cigar and
even lower rates om cigars priced' at
over $1.00 each.
ytat'ee Are Inequitablle
Although the cigar industry''s $,"o2
'
million of' excise taxes amounts to an
average of' 13.6 per cent of manufac-'
turers" net sales, there are'substantiali
variations in the tax' rates paid'' by'
some brackets as compared to others.
It is apparent that the tax rates be-
tween the brackets are inequitable. The,
lowest tax rates are those of revenuei
Cl':as&B, (12.0 per centl),, Class C('11.:7',
per cent)i and G(11.6 per cent). The
highest rate is that of the lowest-priced
revenue Class A, for cigars retaili'ng'at
up to 2!Sb cents each (101for, 25 cents),,
with, an average tax rate of 18.8' per
cent for, the clasa' as a whole.
It also is apparent that cigar tax
rates' within each firacket: are' regres+
eiive. F'or'example, in revenue Class E,,
with an average tax rate of' 114.6 per
cent for the elase' as a whole, the 10-
cent cigar pays, a tax of 17' per' cent of'
the manufacturers' net price, the 2/25
cent cigar' pays a 13: per cent tax, and,
the 16-cent'cigar pays 11 per cent.
This regression' is' typical o'f' every
bracketl, and! the wider the' range of
each bracket, the greater'the regres,
sive nature of the',tax. This mu'st' neces-
sarily be sol no matter what kindl of
bracket system is devised, since the tax
rate in dollars per thousandl cigars i''s
the same for all cigars In the' retstill
price range' of the bracket.
There Ih' no logical relationship be-
tween the selling prices of' cigars and
the tax rates borne by those cigars.
The tax rat'e'on the'6'-cent cigar, $4 per'
thousand; represents a rate of''12'.8 per'
cent'' of the manufacturers' net price.
The 10-cent cigar' pays a mueh, higher
rate 17'.0 per cent-but what l'agic'
is there to a lower tax of 11.2 per'eent'
on, the 1 Q'.centci!gar, whi'chila even i
lower than the rate an the 6'-cent
cigar? W'hy, should the 30-cent andd
the 1&-centeigar'pay exactly the same
percentage rates ('11.2' per cent of the
manufacturers' net price) while the
4'0-cent cigar pays a low 8.1 per cent'
and' the 20-eent cigar pays the higher
12.7'per cent rate?
The heart' of'the matteris'that there
is no' logical relationship between the
selling prices of' cigars and the tax
ratr.' lr.vir'd un t,hem, irxfrl/t thfTt the
rates'cu,c mf;r.c.siwe, and t!hereforie they
are
reput;n:Tnt to the priiocijples' of
eqvit:rblc taxation.
The inequities d'etailed above stetnn
from the f'act' that the cigar tax is'
bns'ed' on, a, bracket sy'.stlem: There is
no lonf;er any reason, however, why
C1tngress ~hould require, the cigar i:n-
dustry to be taxedlhy means of brackr
cts: \Vhcn' the use of'' stamps was re-
quired as' evidence of tax payment -
as was the case', until July 1956 ' -
brackets were also necessary' for pur.
poscs of tax administration:. Stamps
are no Ihngcr required-in fact, their
use is now expreswly' foriii;dden: Why,
then, should the cigar industry be sad-
dled with an archaic system of t'ax'
brmckcts; when the reasons'f'ar their
use have', long, since passed?'
We therefore urge this Committee
to recommend that'dn place of''t'he:pres-
ent system, of cigar taxes based on
brackets, that all' large cigars be taxed
at 8 per cent' of the manuf'acturers" net
selling prices. Such a tax: would have
the following advantages:
11-The tax will: be pr:oportilonal
therefore not regressive.
2-The tax will be uniform, there-',
fore fair to ai'l concernedl
3-The tax, will not be' based on
brackets, therefore it wi'Il, be
less difficult to administer.
Re EormWitheu t' Reduct'ion T
Granted that a' uniform tax based
animanufacturers' selling prices is'pre-
f'erabie to a bracket:system, the ques-
d
tion might be asked'why the:rate should
be',reducedito 8' per centi'nstead of'
sinlply substituting the present average
rate of' 13.6' per' cent In other words,
why not accomplish tax reform with-
out tax reduction?
I am sure that moat members of'this
Committee are familiar with the factt
that'' in the field' of taxation ilt: is almost:
invariably the case that a' tax reform
measure must be aecompaniedl by aa
tax, reduction' iif' new inequities are ta'
be avoide& The ci;gar, indust'ry' i's noo
exception to this rule.
I think I' ami correctl i!n' my' beliefl
that it is nat the intention of this Com,
mittee to; increase some, cigar excise
tnx ruta.r iYl uudtn to t't(uaIizn the rates
now in existence.
Similarly, it is' probadily not the iln-
tention of thiR Committee to give tax'
reductions toi some cigar manufactur-
ers,, and to deny them to: others, in
order to' equalize all', rates. IIf't'here is'
to be', tnx ref'orm, it ia' the position of'
our Association that it is essential that
any reductions incidental to such re-
form be granted to all cigar, mnnu-
fact'urers; and that they not be deniedd
to any. Any rate higher than' 8 per cent: Q
of the manu'f'act'urers" net se1'limg, price' 10A
would result in very little tax reductiott, ilA
for cigar manufacturers whose majlor W
'
'brands'sell& for G cents each. Moreover,
to avoid any' increase ih cigar taxes,
~
we also recommend that there be pro- ~
vision for maintenance of the present
maximum of $20 per thousand cigars.
This maxi'mum' would af!'sct' only cigars
retailing, at more than 4'0, cents each,
whose sales are negligible, and these
would, receive neither a tax inerease
nor a tax decrease.

NEW DOMESTIC CIGARETTE BRANDS

NEW DOMESTIC CIGARETTE BRANDS
No new cigarette brands have come to our attention in the domestic market in:
recent weeks. However,, subsidiaries of'two domestic cigarette companies have
begun marketing charcoal filter brands. C. A. Tabacalera Nacional (',Catana),,
Venezuelan subsidiaryof'PhilipMorris,is~now producing,a charcoal filter
cigarette called Astor and patterned after the Philip.Morris Multifilt!sr..
This brand has had wide consumer acceptance. (An article concerning this new
cigarette can be found in the "Foreign Cigarette Production and Consumption" sec-
tion ofthisiissue.)i Brown & Wi;lliamson"s Uenezuelansubsi'diary C. A. Cigarrera:
Bigott is alsolmaking,a charcoal filter cigarette called Windsor.
Philip Morris "will use large print ads in 152'newspapers covering,95 markets
as part of'a move to supplement the already extensive Multifilter cigarette
network televisioniand magazine advertising schedule, it was announced last
week by Ross R. Millhiser, vice president and director of marketing,." The
print campaign will emphasize the use of the coconut-shell charcoal,used inn
the Multifilter.
A new cigarette holder called Ban-Tar,. produced'by the Exitar Corporation of
Fairfax, Missouri, has been introduced in the Kansas City area., The main
feature of'the holder is the disposable tar~trap, which can be used for up to
two packs of cigarettes. The price is $2'.50 for a pack consisting of a holder
with a,tar tip trap and four additional tar traps. A box of'eight tar traps
can be purchased for 59, cents. Sales results are described as very encouraging,.
The article entitled "How Lark Took Flight," published in the March, 1964,, issue
of World Tobacco, i&summarized by the magazine~in these words: "S ientiists"
technical papers were the springboard for a campaign that may have made a new

The efficiency of coconut-shelll char-

the result of a combination of' factors
fnund only in this type of' charcoal..
When made from coconut'-shelL, char-
coal Is highly porous with properties

properties of activated! charcoall could'.
best be uti1ized when, imbedded' in a
network, of pure filter fibers through-
out aniextra long inner filter. Thia; he
said, "exposes not just some or most
of the smoke,, but all' of' the smoke to
the charcoal granules."'
The newspaper ad is headlined: "Dis-
cover Coconut-Sheli, CharcoaP."' On the
top right of the ad, an illustration d'e-
picts charcoal granules spilling from
a freshly split' coconut shelh Copy just
to the left of it reads: "Philip Morris
has discovered that rare coconut~shel'l'
charcoal brings you honest tobacco
taste through, a charcoall filter."
At the bottom llef't of the ad, justt
over the illust'ration of Multifilter's
soft plastic Sport Pack, the message
continues: "Multifilter uses coconut-
shell charcoal', exclusively," and in bold'
lettering, to the,right of the Sport, Pack,
the copy ends with: "N'ewil 'Philip : Mor-
ris Multifilter, the name you can trust

Leo Burnett.
The consumer magazine schedule in-
cl'udes four-color, back-cover ads in

Cigarette Holder
Scores autista!niding.
Success in Missourl.
Vol Iluime Has Doubled
In Last Three Weeks,
Company Official Says
KANSAS dITY, MO., Fi-Id'ay' (i'.S)
-A new kindl of' cigarette holder has
beenimaking an appearance in the Kan-
sas City area and the, salles results are
described as very encouraging. After a
little less than two months on the
'~rnarket, volume has doubled in the
\~11'ast three weeks, company officials
~O say.
~ The new product is called Ban-Tar,
~ produced by Exitar Corp., of Failrf'ax,
1MIo., The company describes It as a
~ cigarette holder that condenses and
~. traps the tars and nicotine frorrt, the
~ cigarette in a disposable tar trap: The
main feature the company piays up Is
`~ that the tar trap, does not have to, be
cleanedl When It le filled with the tars
~ it is merely thrown away and' a taew
one inserted. The company says a tar
trap i's good for up to two packages of
cigarettes.
Frank Vance, chairman oi the board
of Exitar, said, "Results have beem
very good with a doubling of sales
noted in the last three weeks: There Ilt,
a far greater acceptabililty to the use
of cigarette holders now, The cigar peo.
ple using tips and the report on amok-
ing has caused amokers to accept
them.'
Kansas City was picked ae the point
for initial' market test but pl'ans are
made for national sale., Price Is >N2.60'
for a pack, which consista of a, holder,
with a tar tip trap and four additional -

a stud'yr by our correspQndent,
FELIX K FL USS.
S CIEIqTISTS have in the past~ two decades had an
increasingly important rolC in, the cigarette manu-
facturing industry but generally as back-room boys.
Perhaps in no previous instance of new' brand1 launching,
have they figured' so prominently' as i'n the promotion of.
Lark filter cigarettes, now on the market in the LJ'nited.
States.
The feature of this brand, from Liggett & 1M'',yers
Tobacco Co.,, is a triple faltery the outers being ordinary
cellulose acetate Ritera and the inner compartment con-
taining, activated charcoal granules. The filtration principle
is like that usedI in war-time charcoal-granule gas masks,
The filter hit the headlines, first in, scientific circles and
later before wider audiences, with chapter and! verse of the
research and scientific principle behind it; and by preceding
the Surgeon-General's January report on srnoking, and
health, the brand gained for itself an advantage which~
according to reportsy, obliged the manufacturers to put,
their work force on to a six-day production week of nine
hours a day. The company also managed' what must be
nearly the ultimate in publicity coups: a member of the
Surgeon-Generalis committee said, before the report
csme outy that he had switched! to Lark, calling the cigarette
a'dei4nite advance", this was hardly less valuable tuo
promotion than sequences i'n the report iltself whirtt
mentioned carbon granule cigarette filters in, terms that
have been identifi:ed with the Keith filter.
The scientific publ'icity, story began in the middle of
last year when, the New Lngland' jrourttal' of Medu¢eitee
published' a, paper by two Cambridge, R+[ass.,, scientists,
indicating that the charcoal granule filter featured in, a
new cigarette'could adsorb, most of the cigarette smoke
gases which in animal experiments have been shown tioo
depress the ciliary activity of the throat6 Thecili'a are hairs
which remove foreign matter from the respiratory system;
the presumed result of inhibiting their activity is self-
evident. Medical World News took up the report.
Although filter and cigarette were not identified by the
scientists in, their paper the medical journal! reported' that
according to Liggett & Myers, who sponsored the research j
the filter, used by the researchers was the prototype of the
Keith filter on the new Lark.

ventional cellulose ace-
tate plugs sandwich the

Dr. Williaru J3atet Jr. (lt('t) anufl Dr..
Charles H. Keith; co-inventors of the Keith
filter,workirrg in Laggett fo"' A+fyers'slabora-tories wit/a gas chrontographis equipment used
to detect irritating gaaes in tobacco smoke.
The study was condltcted' by Dr. Charles J. Kensler,
head of the Life Sciences Division, of Arthur D; LittIe,, Inc.
(one of the world's largest independent research organisa-
tions)' and S. P. Battista, pharmacologist in the Division;
it' was the latest phase of an extensive biological research
programrne started in 1954 and carried1on under the joint
supervision of'Dr. Kensler and Dr. Frederick R. Darkis,
Liggett & Myer's Vice-Presidtnt and Director of Rizsearchr
Reprints of this paper had wide circulation. Many
leading newspapers, for instance the Wall Street journal
of December 3, ng63, and the New York Herald Tribune
of January to, commented extensively,, emphasising the
protective effects of charcoal granuies..
Thecharco,al granules imtheKeith, filter~,named~ aftev
one of its inventors, Dr. C. H. Keithi of'the Lig$ett &
Myer's research centre, are specially treated by a, new
process1 toincreasetheiirpower to 1 adsorbvarious Iniitatinggases that are present in cigarette
smoke in small quanti-
ties. The presence of these gases in cigarette smoke has
been recognized for some time. They have been referred to,
in, medical! reports as 'volatile irritants': The granules are
reported' to selectiveNy decrease the amount of'these gases.
Months earlier,, even beftire starting, the advertising
andi public relations campaign for the new Lark cigarette,
the makers' management had realised the importance of
the results obtained during the many years of research,
Wide publicity for the newly-discovered effects of specially'
impregnated granulated charcoai' filters laid the cornerstone
atlUn
of a, tremendous marketing success which has not been,
affected' by the Surgeon-Generat''a report: In order to
accomplish thisgoal, a soberly-presented inforrnation
bulletin prepared! by Liggett & Myers' research laboratory
concerned with activated charcoal, had been prepared
and distributed widely to the press, magazines and other
information media.
Shortly afterwards, the company d'istriNntted to alt news
media a report by Dr. Keithideli'roered to a national
meeting, of'the American Chemical Sodery,
Dr. Keith's conclusions, which gained wide publicity,
were included in a paper entitled 'Vapor Phase Analysiis of
Tobacco Smoke' presentedl at the Society's tobacco sytn
posium. Dr. Keith claimed that~ the new fit'ter allowed the
incorporation of considerable quantities ofl active sdsor-
bents which have been1oundlto bedigtiitcd'y more effective
in removing gases than other types of adsorbent-bearing
filters.
D!epend'ing, on the materi'al' used, removals of up to
6o per cent or more were effected, he claimed, by, the
granular charcoai adsorbent. This capadty, was related to
the extensive surface area in the extretnely porous structuree
of the charcoal. In, a composite filter of this type, the surface
area of the porous charcoal segment was foundl to be
approximately S,ooa times greater than that of the cellulose
acetate segments ...
Among the materials which, were experimentally found
to be strongly adsorbed by the charcoal filter were most of'
of the putf' establish'eT Tta-t components of the gas phase a?r1'n's'ponsibl's for
inhibition of ciliary transport activity. A'ssaysof' lrnowm, component'sof
the gas phase showed' the following compounds to possess such activity:
hydrogem cyanide, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and atnmonia, al.i though no, one of these
occurs at levels high enoubh to, produce the effect
noted for smoke.
Activated carbons dilffer~ markedly ~ iln theilr~ adsorption, characteristics.
Carbon filters previously emplbyed in cigarettes do not' have the specific.
'.
1 power to serub, the gas! phase., It has been, repo~r~ted~ that' a~ fi1'~ter~ containing
special carbon~ granules removes gaseous constituents which depress cilila
~' activity (28)'.

report: the KeitA filter was

the oxygenated materials and the acidic and basic gases
such as acrolcin;, formal'd'chycte, hydrngew cyanide' and
ammonia. Thcsc matcrials' contributed heavily to the
i'rritating effects of cigarette smoke, he indicated, referring
to' the researches of Kenslcr and' Battista..
The company next proccededl to, the task of developing
the' proper charcoal granules and a new tobacco blend to
go with the new' filter. At about the same time it also got
ready to, move the new cigarette from the laboratory to
the production line-a, move which among other, things
calledi for the development of complicated machinery too
feedl the exact measured portion, of charcoal granules into
the space bctween the two outer filters.
With the Lark cigarette in production and, marketing
and advertising plans in the final stages of preparationy,
the company's efforts were focused on' testing Lark's
acceptance in strategiic market areas and arranging for test
introduetion. It was priced at the same level as other
popular filter lines..
Key tests took place in, Columbus, O'hio, and the'tri-city
area of Albany', Schenectady and Troy, N.Y. In'these
tests, Lark salesmen moved into the area in force to call on'
l'ocal distributors and retailers, and distribution was
supported with heavy newspaper advertising, and TV'
commercials, plus a wide selection of'point-of-sal'e mate-
rials.
Consumer reaction was enthusiastic, and Lark was then
launched into all of the Eastern seaboard. IIntroduction
into the West Coast, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
followed four months later. At the end of September,
Mr. Zach Toms, President of Liggett & Myers Tobacco
Company, announced that' the new cigarette,, having
received excellent consumer acceptance in test' markets
during six months, wouldl be marketed nationally.
The two, impressivre, disinterested "pl'ugs" followed.
On the eve of'the publ'ication of the' S'urgeon-Creneral's
report, Dr. Louis F. Fieser, professor of organic chemistry
at Harvard and an authority on tobacco-smoke chemistry,
told the New York Herald Tribttne' that he had recently
switched 'to cigarettes containing, an activate charcoal
filter, intended to screen out substances in cigarette
amoke that' depress the action ofl cilia in the respiratory
system". H'e' specifical'ly named the brandl as Lark.
When the Surgeon-General'sreport came out next day,
it was found'to devote half a page'ta the effects of tobacco
smoke on ciliary' activity. While reporting scientific findings
without comment, the report did say "Activate& carbons
differ markedly in their adsorbtion characteris'tics. Carbon
filters previously employed in' cigarettes do not have the
specific power to scrub the gas phase: It has been reportedd
that a filter containing special carbon granules removes
gaseous constituents which' depress ciliary activity"'.
Dr. Fieser later confirmedl that the brand in, question was
Lark.
A feature of the scientific side of the promotion has'
been the restrained, profess'ional, manner in which it was
conductedi (The company is not to be blamed for the
iiazzy' headlines their news obtainedl in some popular
papers; but even the most startling, banners were followed
by news couched in solid scientific terms.) The permanent'
'outdoor dress" of the brand continues the restrained
theme,, with a' reverse design on the' cigarette pack that is
about as far as any' manufacturer has ever gone towards
Z d technicall reading on the package itself. Scienti'fically'
ughi*, the wording is not specciftc.

FOREIGN CIGARETTE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMP'TION
Rothmans of Pall Mall CanaftLimited announced recently that any decline!in the
Canadian cigarette industry is not reflected in its preliminary year-end report.
President John H. Devlin stated that the slump inithe first quarter of' 1964~,,
caused by the United States Surgeon General's report and a reduction in trade
inventories was "temporary"' and that sales reflected record gains overlast
year. It is believed that these gains are due to Rothmans" strength in the
filter and king size~market. This company has also introduced a new brand!,
Craven Mentho:l:,,whichlis expected to supply initially more than 20 per cent of
a menthol market estimated at 190 million cigarettes a month.
Canada's, Dominion Bureau of Statistics released statistics~showingan 8:percent drop in cigarette
smoking,for the first three months of this year. The
drop cost the government an estimated $3,100,000:in revenue. Canadian Hea]ith.
Minister Judy LaMarshireports that an advisory committee on smoking is now
studying the question of cigarette 1abel.ing.
A survey on the living standards of'East and West Germany showed that while a
West German "has tolwork 2'3 minutes to earn enough money to:buy 50 grams of'
fine cut tobacca., his East German contemporary,, living,und'er Communist rule,,
must work one hour and,20' minutes" to buy the same amount of tobacco:.
Included in this section is an article:giving,the results of a study on Cuban
tobacco consumption just finished in Miami by officials of the TobaccolGrosvers'
and Dealers' Association in Exile. The study covers the period from.1941 - 1958'
and shows that tobacco consumption during these!years "made an extraordinary
increase."
Lewis Gruber,, honorary chairman of P. Lorillard Company, declared after a recentt
tour of Europe that "'American filter-tip!cigarettes are cont3nuing,to grow inn
popularity"' in Enropean countries.
"A three-member tobacco delegation from the Chinese Nationali'st island of
Formosa (Taiwan) toured burley-producing areas in Kentucky and Tennessee during,
a visit to United States leaf areas recently. They represented the Formosa
manufacturing monopol'y."'
Of'special interest is an article entitled "International Perspective oniSmDking,
and Health."' This article was taken from the 1Wiarch,, 1964, issue of World!
Tobacco, which has only recently come to the attention of' Market Research. O
Thoughithis article is less recent than the majority of those contained in the IPA
newsletter, readers shou]:d find the information contained!in it of interest. ~

Philip Morris International's European office has been moved to Lausanne, O

C. A. Tabacalera.Nacional (Catana), a subsidiary of' Philip:Morris, has introduced

Rothmans Sales Gains
TORONTO, ONT. - Recent reports
of a decline in the Canadian cigarette
industry are not reflected in the pre-
liminary year-end report of Rothmans
of Pall Mall Canada Limited. President
Iohn H. Devlin said recently that his
Company had not only recovered from
the industry-wide slow-down In Feb-
ruary and early March, but had made
record gains over last year.
Mr. Devlin said, "The slump in the
)Nfirst quarter of this year, caused by the
U.S. Surgeon General's report and a
~ reduction in trade inventories, was
very temporary as .far as Rothmans
~ was concerned. Sales began to return
_~J, to normal in mid-March and have oon-
~)N tinued to climb since that time. We re-
\
~
Q
ported a substantial increase for the
E d a few weeks ago. Total sales for
break all previous records and
lish it as the highest month ever
since the company started operations
In Canada in 1957."
The Rothmans president declared
that, "on the basis of our performance
in the first half of 1964, and particular-
1 in June, the financial year just closed
uly 1, 1963-June 30, 1964) wIll set
1-time records for both sales and
profits."
Mr. Devlin declined to quote spe-
dfie figures but indicated that the
company s annual report, due in late
September, would reflect his present

Rothmans of Canada
taunches Menthol Cigarette
TORONTO, CAN.-In spite of some
gloomy industry predictions, Rothmans
of Pall Mall Canada Limited has set
new sales records for March and April,
compared to the same months in 1963.
j. H. Devlln, president of Rothman s,
stated that sales for both March and
April were up more than five per cent
over the same months last year.
Despite the decline in total industry
sales in February, Rothmans has al-
ready equalled its total sales for the
first four months of 1963, and Mr.
Devlin forecasts that sales and profits
for the first six months of this year will
exceed those of January to June, 1963.
It is believed that Rothmans fast
bounce from the indushy drop in Feb-
ruary was due to the company i
strength in the filter and king size
markets. Rothmans now controls over
50 per cent of the king size market,
and 30 per cent of the total filter ciga-
rette market. Approximately 65 per
cent of the total Canadian cigarette.
market is now made up of filter prod-
ucts, and Rothmans estimates that due
to the acceleration in the market of
filter smoking, filter products will In
the near future represent 80 per cent
of the total market.
Mr. Devlin also announced that
Rothmans has launched a new brand
of cigarettes, Craven Menthol, designed
to attract the booming menthol market
estimated at 190 million cigarettes a
month. He said Rothmans confidently
expects to supp1y initialiy more than
20 per cent of this market, basin his
statement on test markets throughout
Canada, which produced "immediate
and very favourable acceptance by
menthol smokers for Craven Menthol."
The Rothmans president said, "The ris-
ing demand for menthol cigarettes in
Canada has created a challenge in the
market place. This challenge, the sales
trend for 1964 and the loyal consvmer'
support of each new Rothmans product
give the green light for our entry into
a new market."
Craven Menthol, the $rst Virginia
kingsize menthol dgarette available to
Canadians, went on sale recent .
It oins the vigorous Rothrnans fami y
wit~ a well-known, almost traditional
name, Craven, and retains the visual
Image of Its sister product, Craven "A."
The new package design inoorporates
the brand name in the familiar reverse
type in a gold-edged oval of color, M
a oool turquoise. A new ftip-top 80's
pack and the standard 25's sleeve p.de
aging brings the new brand Into lftos
with Rothmans paokaging policy.
Menthol flavoring was discovered ac-
cidentally some sixty years ago. An'
ambassador in England put a few men-
thol crystals in his cigarette case and
found a new, remarkably cool smoke.
The new Craven Menthol derives its
flavor from a tiny drop of menthol ap-
plied to the inner surface of the pro-
tective foil, permitting the essence to
permeate the filter while preserving
the fragrance of the Virginia leaf.
An aggrvssive advertising and proo-
motiona[ canipaign In print and radio,
and extensive sampling, supporb the
launching of the new brand.

Tobacco prices i'n countries with tobacco, monopolies
are based on the cost of living, wages and sal'i-aries and of agricultural working stock. As a,
consequence of the increasing cost of living in.

are given in new French flrancs: 1961',,508; 1962',
524; 1963, 539. The situation is similar in lft'aly..
The price for 1963' is thus about 50' per cent

Th®, demand for pipe tobaccos in the higher price

In order to faeilitate eeonomical' manufacturing of'

Company (AMMAFOCO) of! Zurich, Switzerj

easily be combined with almost alll known cigar
machioes. The miicroflake wrapper is gradually
pulled $rorn a, horizontallyy fixed roll over a ten-
sion rolll toi a suctiion head which: positiions' the
wrapper on the wrapper matrix of the cigar
machine. Another suction, device removes' the

After a long period' of inactivity in the West Gerznann
cigar iindustry, 1964 began with ai four month
period of increasing sales. Two reasons are
given: the consequences of' the Terry report
and intensified advertising. In t.hi's period cigar
sales increased to 947 tniilliionpieces,of °`head"ci'gars, stumpen and eigariilos.Thatmeans6.9'

The Gerrnan F'ederal Health Paper has published a
report of the Federal Health Authorities on
"smoking and healthi damage:"' It says that in
1962 every citizen older than fourteen years
smoked 1,900, cigarettes, e.g. more than five
cigarettes per day: It, confirms what',was said in
the American;, Canadian and Brit,'iehreports con-cerning the fact that cigarette smokers between
35 and 70 years have a considerably higher
death rate than non-smokers. For, every 1001
deaths of nonsmokers there are 168 deaths of'
smokers, says the Gertnan report; that means
that the death rate of smokers is two-thirdb
higher than that of non.smokers. Of these h3gIv.
er death-rates 55 per cent are result of' heart
diseases and circullatory diseases. Sixteen per
cent are result,of' pul}iionary cancer. The report
names eleven diseaees, among them malignant
tumors in five different organs, the frequency
as cause of death of which is more than 50, per
eenR~ higher forsmokersthaa for non-smokers; * * *

bT. S. Surgeon-Getreral''s indict>`ttent
W ORLD-WID'Ereactions to, the United, States
Surgeon-General's January report linking cigar-
ette smoking with, lung cancer have ranged from
scepticism to approval;
Over a considerable part of the world-in much of Asia
and Africa, for example-the question is simply not a, live
issue. Tobacco consumption per head is so small that the
prnportion of smokers whose habit could bring, them into
the brackets that attracted the Surgeon-General's attention
is insignificant. Again, tobacco is frequently taken in the.
East in, forms (for instance, in water pipes) which were not
discussed in, the Washington survey.
One reaction reported frAm several countries has been,
a threat of restriction on tobacco advertising, but so, far
none of these threats has matured. Another reaction,
always to be expected after health-and-smoking reports
have received international' publicity, has been a further
rise in, sales of filter cigarettes. Manufacturers in general
appear to be taking, the report't after-effects calmly,, believing
that, as on previous occasions, the balance of sanity willl
eventually be restored.
The notes assembled! here summarise reports from,
World Tobacco's correspondents in five continents~.
The effect in the UNITED STATES has been lessened
by energetic counter-attacks by the tobacco industry,
claiming that further research will be necessary to sub-
stantiate the medical claims.
Senators ofl the Southern States have rallied and' to a
great extent mitigated the report's influence.
Based on the experiences in Great Britain, it is assumed
' that sales will rise after a fall I reported variously at about
to per cent~ Stocks of'the leading tobacco companies rose
on the first marketing day after the report was released.
Small cigars with filter tips appear to be one of the
industry's answers to the controversy, TWo manufacturers
introducedlnew products. Bayuk Cigars advertised!Filterelai
a brand with a'cool flow' filter, and Stephano Bros, brought
out, Kingston, a cigarette-size menthol flavoured, filter-tip

to the American Medical Association to, underwrite aa
project to stud!y the relationship of smoking, and d!isease.
So far the Federal Trade Commission's proposed
regulations on advertising have not matured. The aim is to
force all'manufacturers to label'brands with a caution about
health hazard's. These regulations, based on past court
decisions that failure to disclose relevant facts in advertise-
ments violates the law against misleading advertising,,
cannot in any case be implemented until public hearings
have been, held. A decision may be further delayed if taken
to the courts.
Itt, the UNITED KINGDOM the report had negligible
effects on sales, according to reports from the multiples.
The only slight repercussion, was an insignificant inquiry
for more small cigars;
Sales of tipped cigarettes continued to rise, though
official manufacturers' figures for the weeks since the report
was issued are not yet available. Statistics for the year to
last December show a rise fromi 28,6oo million, in IQ6a to
37,000 millipn in n963. The sale of plain branda in the same
period fell from 81,300 million to 77,qoo million:
A highlight of the mild controversy stiffed by the report
was an admission by the then Mini'ster, of Health;, Mr. Enddt
Powell, in a TV debate with Mr. Ronald Plumley, managing
director of f:arreras, that a suggested ban on, cigarette
advertising or an increase in taxation would be inetifective
in reditcing smoking.
Reactions of GERMAN smokers variled, Country-wide
reports revealed an, increasing sale of pipes and pipe tobaccos
with the higher-priced mixtures more in favour. This wo
.
speciallly evident at the Spring Fair at Prankfurt' am Main,
where pipe sales showed a striking increase.
Much publicity was given to the report of a West German
scientific team und'er Professor Poche wHiich haa been
investigating, smoking hazards for five years. Their reportt
blamed air pollution, with, emphasis on car exhaust fumes,
as a main contributory cause of llung, cancer. 'The tiny
quantities of cancer-prodtsring elements in, tobac¢o, are:
insigmificant" the report concluded.
In GREECE and TURKEY' retail sales had twt beert
affected up to the mid!dlle ofl February, and no ractiott war _
foreseen, by the authorities. Smokers in these countries are
convinced that Oriental tobaccos contaim leaa nicotine attd
tar than, other types and do not constitute sucli a riek-if
risk there is-as the stronger types.
The report is studied mainly from the point of view of its
possible effects on, the export of Ieaf. That ia also the-case
in other leaf-growing countries, suchlas those of SOUTH-
CENTRAL AFRICA.
The optimists believe, hioweverthat any fall Iin leaf buyingg
by the more sophisticated countries could! be offset by
increased demand from the under-developed ones, where
smoking tends to rise with improved standards of living.
Consumption in CANADA has undoubtedly been
affected, though to, what extent no available statistics aa far
indicate.
The distributive trade reports a marked rise ia, cigar,
pipe and tobaeeo sales. Pipe repairing is also on the upswing,
an indication that many smokers are returning to the pilpe.

Advcrtising themcs-'L:ightit-you'1II like It',,'The best

been changed.
The report had very slight effect on smoking, habits In
NE1t(t ZLAdAND. A ibw tobacaonirta reported a rntall
falling-ofEof sales for a week or two, but these soon returned
to normal. Others reported no change..
This lack of alarm was probably helped by a newspaper
article which followed ctoselly on the report. It was onithee

In FRANCE, a Monopoly spokesman says that

The NETHERLANDS Nationall Health, Secretary
announced a publicity campaign plan to warn the public of'
smoking dangers.
An apparently uncontrived wave of television and
publication features on smoking and! healthi around the
time of the American report in the Netherlands

Perhaps the lsst word should be left to, the dbughtiest
unbeliever of all. In WESTERN GERMANY, the
secretary generall of the International Association for
Scientific Tobacco Researeh,, Drw I-I. Aschenbrenner,
suggests that before reports on tmoking, and health are
taken seriously; those making the reports should have
psychiatric certification that they are not suffering from
pyrophobia (fear of llre), Twenth-8ve years" researches
by his organisation, says Dr. Aachertbrenner, have proved
that tobacco antagonisnt ottiea apriitga !I<om a morbid

whose many manifestations inalude suppressed fear of the
'big fire' or atom bomb.

Both tobacco men and legislators still protest the Federal Trade Comm.ission's
ruling on the labeling,of cigarette packages.. North Carolina Governor Sanford,
pledges that "North Carolina will intervene in the courts if the FTC'requires
cigarettes be~labeled as healthihazards." Tobacco's Editor's Forum labels the
ruling, "illegal and illogicaal."' The July 10 issue of Tobac o,, however,, reports
that the tobacco industry may be ready to:mod!ify its stand on labeling; "the
new position is:said to be to accept mild package-labeling legislation that
would also try to prohibit local governments fromigetting,into the labeling or
smoking control field."
The Council for Tobacco Research - U.S'..A;. has awarded 37 additional research
grants to support studies into lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases and res-
piratory ailments. The grants total $81.7,165.
The United States Public Health Service has glvenicontracts for research into,
the effect of cigarette smoke on living tissues for an aggregate amount of more
than $300,000.
The United States Department of Agriculture has arranged a.four-year contractt
with the Research Triangle Institute at Durham, North Carolina, under whiche the latter wi'll
conduct intensive research on neutral resins of tobacco which,
may be important to the flavor of cigarette smoke.
The Awerican Medical Association Education and Research Found'ati.on has approved'

FTC order. Rep. Roy Taylor (I3-NC)

nounced intention to put a danger label
on cigarette packages..
Iiep; Horace ICornegay (D-N'C)6 of

FTC, as an agency of' the government,
would promulgate such a rule when
!t knew the matter was under considera-
Von on Capitol' Hill, He commented
that "the agency must be resttrained
by Congress and not proceed further
with such trade regulation rules unless
and until Congress authorizes them to i
do so."
Governor Sanfordi declared "the most
iinportant concern of the farmer of'
flue-cured! tobacco is the price the crop.

to Secretary Freeman,_that "we need

determines the state of our pocket-
books this year, as well' as the future
of the support program."'
The Covernor proposed that, if such
a meeting as be suggested were helld,,
congressional delegations, representa-
tives from the Leaf Tobacco Exporters"
Associationj representatives from the
domestic buying companies and', farmm
leaders be- invited to attend. With this
combined thinking and with coopera.-
tiive effort, "we can do much to restqr+e
confidence In the future of tobtfccoi
farming, and! much to bolster the prices
paid for the crop this year."'
B'. C. Mangum, president of the
North Carolina Farm Bureau, termedl
the Trade Commission's order "a be-
trayal of' the economic interests of 17
million, Americans." He added that the
timing of' the order, in connection with,
hearings in the House of' Representa-,
tives on ten bills proposing cigarette
labeling "is an affront to Congress and'.
the whole process of law in this
nation." He deplored the "internecine
quarrell between the FTC andl the I}e-
partment of Hiealth~ Education and
Welfare over who shouldl regulate the
labeling of' cigarettes,"' andl said "The

Tinning of the order, the farm leader
declared', is doubly unfortnnate, since

Chairman Paul Rand Dixon of FT!C'
told the House Interstate andl Foreign

added: "They can take this rule ta the

Mr. C'ray saidl industry attorneys

the Research Triangle Institute, at
Durham; N. C., under which the latter
will conduct intensive research on, neu-

The federal agency explainedl thatl
these resins represent one of'the frac-

t.i5ts have notl been ahle, t.'o characterize
as yet; and that they may he important
to the flavor of cigarette smoke:
Scient.ists of USDA's A'gricultural'
Resenrrh Service have isolated and
identified other components of tohacco,
and' have attempted to relate this in-
formation to the various chararteris-
ties of cigarette and ciQar smoke. These
analyses;, however, have left unidenti-
fiedl a num,her of substances called
neutrall resins.
A large-scale study, uainQ, a variety
of' sophisticated techniquea which pro-
vi'de, more effective methods of analy,
sea, will be done by scientists of the
Research Triangle Institute: It is hoped'
that the resinous substances can he
separated into pure compounds or mix-

This research will he an importarrt~

"AGf'ore than 17 million Americans receive part or all'of'their income
from tobacco. Over 70' million Americans smoke. The FTC, in its
high-handed order, apparently is trying to establish itself as the rule
of ' the tobacco indtrstry and the' smoking publ'ic.
"'ri'irst' there was the lfeport of the SurgAon tf eneral' on Smoking

Ever since some of the most out-
spoken critics of cigarett'e,smoking be-
gani suggesting a switch to cigars or
rpe for smokers who can't kick the.
~abit completely, cigar manufacturers.
6ve fished aroundi for ways to makee
the changeover more appealing, to
more people. The cigarett'e-sized cigar
was thei'r answer to the ilncreased con-
tern over cigarette smoking in the Igte.
1i95(i,,, and for a short whiile thib
Item, enjpyed a sharp upsurge of pop-
Ularity (coNSUDtBW REPORTS, October
1959).
Then. late last year,,the U.S. Surgeon
Qeneral's report appeared, with, iitss
strong, support for the indictment
against cigarette smoking, and once
again cigarette-sized' cigars were in the.
limelight. This time, though, they did
not:have it all to themselves: they were
joined there by cigarillos, small cigars'
ofl'the 50 variety.
To get some picture of how smokers
reaet, to both products, Cti lined up a
~p smalC' panel of' inhaiing, cigarette amok-
Ners willling to try them. Cachi panelist
O was asked! to smoke a pack ofi the cig-
~,~ arette-sizedl cirars and 20 cigarill''os. A.
V`week later, the panelists were asked to=
C),,fill out a questionnaire pertaining to
~ their experience.
,.~ The results indicate that relatively
~ few smokers will find these proditcts an
easy way out of' their unhealthy habit.
Very few of the panell members liked
the cigarette-sized cigars, and only'
about' one-third of themiliked the ciga-
rillos:
Because inhaling appears to be, aa
major factor in the effects of' smoking
on health, the cigarette-inhaling panel-
letb were questioned about their in-
lialing of' the cigars. About halt of'
them did not inhale ciigarillos;, most off
the others inhaled them less deeply or
less,frequently than they did cigarettes.
The results wi2h, the cigarette-sized
cigars were much less favorable. About
three+quartersi of' the panelists inhaled
these. However, though three-quarters
of the panel' said that they wouldl not
be able to stop inhaling, cigarettes, al-
most alll believed they could, eventually
stop inhaling cigar smoke.
CU' included' one loadedl question in
the questionnaire and got back answers
to it hardly, likely to raise the spirits of
those (ineluding, CU) who have been
trying to do a job of' public health
ed'ucation, on the now unquestionable:
dangers of' cigarette smoking. The
quest'ion :"If you were to be convinced I
that' cigarette smoking was unhealthy,,
would you switch to such cigars?"'
More than one-third of the panel mem~
bers (includiing a few who saidl they
didn'tl like the ciigars) answered yes-
thus i'nd'icatimg that, since they hadn't
switched yet, they were not convinced
that their habit was unhealthy:, Indeed,
a recheck ttvo months Ihter revealed'
that not one had- yet switched from
cigarettes to cigars..
If' you, too, remain unconvinced on,
thisiscore, you willi do, well i to, read': (!orre-read ) ' CU'e "Rsport on Smoking
andl the Public lnterest:"' You shouldi
of course, quit smoking altogether if
you' can. Ilf' you i can't, try cigars or a
pipe. On the basis of CU's small sam.
pling of smokers, chances seem sdme-,
what -better that you'll atop inhaliing
and find the sw'stch imore acceptablle if',
from the smaller, varieties of' cigar you
choose cigarildos.

Tobacco Health Findings
By nQck Scism,
"Tlobacco's" Editor in Danville
A Nbrth Carolina congressman says
the consensus of doctors and scientists
who appeared before the House of
Commerce Committee Is that there Is's
no definite proof that smoking cigA.
rettes causes lung, cancer or any otfiier
dreadedl d'isense:
Rep. Horace Korncgay of' Greens-
boro is a member of the House Com,
mittee on Interstate and' Forelgn, Cam+
merce which has been holding lnearings
on bills to brand cigarettes as a healtll
hazard andl has introd'uced legislation
to prohibit Federall Trad'e Commissiort
rulinbsto brand' aignrettesuntill duly
authorized to do so by Congressi.
In an i article prepared' for newspapers
in North Chrol'ina and Virginia, Rep. '
Korngay quoted extensively from testir
mony giGen the committee bv seven.
doctors and scientists, rnuchi of' which
had been unreported previously~
Their testimony, concluded R'ep.
Kornegay, "emphasized that the Sur-
E on Generals' report' on Smoking and
ealth"is inconclusive and that it is not
the final word I on this issue."
He added, "It further stressed that
there is a critical need for additional
research in the area of smoking and
health."
Rep: Korngay said the doctors and
scientists appearing, before the com-
mittee generallly agreed:
1. The cause of' cancer in general'
and of l'ung, cancer In particular is not'
proven. '
2. A great deal of laboratory work
has been done, but not in a single in-
stance has lung; cancer been induced
by tobacco products.
3. Lung cancer occurs in nonr
smokers as well as smokers and a tre-
mendous majority of' smokers, inelud'-'
Ing heavy smokers, never develop lung
cancer.
The testimony by these experts, Rep:
Kornegay said, "woulid' fill a book as
large as the re ort on 'Smokin and
Haalth"and wou~dl be a great den~more
informativc."'
The Congressman said'~ they were
criticall of the report and repeatedly
pointed out it was based on statisticall
data rather than clinicall "and that even
the statistical d1t'a~ was of''highly dubi-
ous quality'."
In his article, Rep. Korncgav quoted'
from a few of' the dF'ctors nndsair.ntlNits
to give a gisG of'' what was brought outt
in, their testimony. Among the testi'-,
mony quoted by himr
Dr. Thomas II. Ilurford of' St. Loui's,
a medical aloctort and professor of'
thoracic surgery who, has treatedl over,
44,000 cases ofl lung, cancer. "L do not
believe that lung cancer is cauae& by cigarette smoking and I do not believe
that smokin is responsible for any
shortening o~lifc: ... There i's as much
or, mone reason to suspect air pollutants
ua there is to suspect cigarette smoking.".
Dr. L. H. Garland, a doctor and
[professor, at the Universit+v of Californin
Medicall School in San Prnnclisco: "My
own studies on the locus of' origin of'
primary bronchial cancer lndicate al-
most two-thin]s, of''~ them arise i'n, por-
tions of' the bronchial' tree removedl
from the main ibronchi' where the eon,
aentrations of cigarette smoke are sup-
posed to be the greatest in the lunga.
The peak incidence of primary bron-
chial cancer in U'.S: males is around
years, both in smokers and non-
57
smokers, and, this peak tends to be
maintained irrespective of the amount
smoked or when the ci~' arette smoking,
alleged9y commenced: 'I hese are extra-
ordinary findings which in my opinion
seriously qpestion the cigarette Ncypo-
thesis."
Dr: Thomas J. Moran, pathologist,
Memoriall Hospital, Danville, Va.:
"Over 95 per cent of smokers, includ-
ing heavy smokers, do not develop lung
cancer. . . There is relatively little
cancer of the mouth, nose, throat or
trachae, although these areas are more
exposed to cigarette smoke than the
lungs; and the incidence of cancer inn
these organs is not increasin :
There is more lung cancer in ngland!
than in this country, despite the fact
that heavy smoking is more common
in this counrtry:"
Dn Hiram Langston of Chicago~ a
cl'Inicall professor of'surgery at the Uni-
versity of Illinois College of' Mediciner
"This rising', incidenee began prior to
the popularity of cigarettes, which casts
doubt again on there being any causal
relation between cigarette smoking and'
the disease."
Dr. Israel Rappaport, consulting',
Csician at Rellevue Hospital in New
ks "In chronic lung, disease we have
an ill'-definedl disease indefinitely Ihnked.
to a number of undetennined' agents.
Action against any particular one of'
the possible agents is 111bgical unjustiy
6ed, unreasonable and purposeless."
Dr. Henry Russek a consultant in,
cardiovascular disease at the U.S.
PUb1ic Health Service Hospitall at
Staten Island, N:Y'.: "No evid'ence to
date has excluded the possibilit'y that,
in the development of coronary dibeaee,
smoking may be but a symptom of the
real cause."
Dr. Theodor Sterlittg,i director of the
Medical Computie Center, Uniiversftar
of Cincinnati: "A~ experiments thatt
have atttmpted t'o prod6ce 1ung icancer
by the use of dgafatta tnnoTcehave
failed so far,,'lrhe total weigMt of'the
evidence at thir't'hne ... iy such that it.
suggests the necessity for certaih ex-
periments but does not support definite

Tob~rco I ndustry Presents Congress Data ,
~
To Refute L il~~tkbng of Cigarets and Disease'_1
--- ~!.
RIAlI'WNt.l. STRF:F.T'.1(SURNAL.StnfJ'R.CtlorfL'r
1vASH3NCTOl+i= The' tobaccoindustr,ypre
sented Congress with its own statistihal and
medics.l,evidence ahout the corretation between'
emnking andl disease. Irlotl surprisingly, the in-
dustry concluded that' a link doesnit exist.
Studies the U.S. Surgeon General cited' aai
.evid'ence that cigaret smoking is a"signifi,
cant health hazard"' contain hazardous incon-
eistencies, a; Virginia statistician advised the
lawmakers. And' a professor of' lung, surgery
at' Washingtoni University in St. Louis saidi
there is "a, large volume of' good, scientific
evidence which, tends to refute the rather
hastily accepted premise that' cigaret smoking
i's causally related to cancer of the lung."
The two men led off'a series of expert:wit-
Itesses for cigaret makers to buttress their'
case against legislation before the House Com-
merce Committee. The panel has under con-
"aifleratinn several' bills that would require
warnings on cigaret labels and in advertising.
The Federal Trade Commission independentlyy
has proposed requiring warnings that amok-
tng "may cause death from cancer and other
diseases."'
' Alan S! Donnahoe, a, newspaper executive
and a lecturer on statistics at the University
of Richmond, told the committee that the data
on smoking and' health compiled by the Sur-
geon General's office, and' relied on by the
FTC, "fail to meetl the minimum standards of'
scientific sampling." I3e termed the data "in-
ternally inconsistent" and "unreasonable"' in,
their implications.
He said the Surgeon General"s: study shows ~
for instance, that cigaret smokers who take"
heavy exercise have a lower mortality rate j,
than inactive nonsmokers; and that marriedj'
men who smoke live just as long as single l
men who don',t I.
Even more "aRtonishing;" he edded; is that,.
Tobacco
Q//l~ O u' Q
in three of' the sevcn atYjdies lumpedl together I
in the Surgeon General's report~ "the mor.
tality, rate for clgaret smokers was lower than ,
the avrerage"' for all U;BA males. The re-
port's explanation that the smokers surveyed
were healthier than the average male popula-
tfon ia hardly satisfying, he said. Under questioning, however, Mr. Donnahoe
acknowledged that, both smokers and non-
smokere, surveyed probably, did: enjoy better I
than average, health. The Surgeon: General"s ~
report found the incidence of lung cancer to
be 10, times as great among the smokers.
Thomas: H.' Burford a St. Lwuis surgeon, +
dismissed this finding as no more than "a sta-
tistical association which falls far short of ,
proving a eausal' connection."' The causes of
cancer remain unknown and until they are j
determined "it would, seem only reasonable i
that to raise an alarm about', cigaret smoking
is unwarranted,"' Dr. Burford saidl
This, is the position taken, for the record,
by tobacco, Industry leaders in opposing Fed-
eral legislation. But.the industry was, jolted by
the FTC proposal and is worried aboutl ani ab-
Isence of, restraint in the state legtsl'ahUres..
Thus the work the industry appears to be
ispreading among, tobacco-state Congressmen
is thatl a little Federal regulation might not
'hurt.
"There's no question that' the industi:y

Tobacco` Industry Rea.dy - to
Modify Stand on Laheling
~
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Witha nod
from the advertising and radio-televi'.-
sion indiustries, the tobacco indust'ry is'
said to be quietly modifying', its all}out
opposition to any type of health«hazard
labeling on cigarette packages. This'
was indit:ated at a, session last week of
the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, which is stmd
d
some ten bills alFeady introd'uced in i
the House and what to do i'n the wakee
of the Surgeon-GeneralTs study commit-
tee report linking, cigarette smoking
with th' e lung' cancer death rate.
While not directly statedl by the in-
dustry, the new position is said to be
to accept ackage-labeling legis-
lation that would also try to prohibit
local! governments from getting into the
labeling or, smoking-control field.
Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark), chairman,
of'the , Commerce Committee, is saidl to
feel, as do industry officials,, that' a
s prefer-
health, warning labeling law
able to allowing the Federal Trad'e'
Commission to carry out its intentions
of requiring labels on packages and'&
ad+vertising'.
Among the numerous bills now in,
the Hbuse is a"mild" Package lnbeling
measure' introduced , by Rep. Walter
Ragera ( D-Texi ), a member of the
Commerce Committee. It would re-
guire cigarettes to bear a warning,
Caution: cigarette smoking may be
hazardous to your health." But it', does
not refer to advertising. The Rogers bill,
would rohibit states from acting if a.
Federarlaw was enacted..
VN'arnings: on both packages and in
advertising , would! be required , under a'
rule by the' Federal! Trade Commission,
announcedl two, weeks ago by Chair-
man Paull Rand Dixon at a Commerce
Committee session. It would not go in-
to effect until next year, but, even, so,
it could be delayed three to four years
if the question gets into court. The
appropriate Federal action to put smokers oh
I guard, so long as the notice isn't, made puni,

Thus, the tnd'ustry's pritne', objective ap-
pears' to be a Federal' law that would pre+
clude the states from taking desperate actlons:
(Public-health officials in several states, tn-
cluding New York and California, have proni-
isEd! to ~ post their own antismoking codes un-
less Federal sanctions are applled.),
A secondary aitn less urgent at: the mo-
ment is to undercut the FTC's proposed
i warning requirement, especially as It applies
' to advertising. Cigaret' makers can, and' tnr

Taba"ricroi I ndustry Presents Congress Data ,
To Refute Lbtking d!f. Cigarets andDIi_seasie_,l
-- I
~ BU'n '\S'Ar0..STRF:F.T'.1oURNALSfnfJ'F'e+,Or/rp
WASHINGTON- The' tobacco Indu9try pre
sented Congress with' Its own sta:tistihal and
medleal evidence about the correlation between'
kmoking andl discase. Not surprisingly, the In,
dustry concluded that a link' doesn't exist.,
Studies the U.S. Surgeon General', cited aa
e evid'ence that cigaret smoking is a"signifi-
cant health haza.rd" contain hazardous incon-
sistencies, a Virginia' statistician advised' the
lawmakers. And' a professor of' Iung surgery
at Washington University' in St. Louis safdl
there' is "a large volume of good' scientific'
evidence which tends to refute the rather'
hastily accepted premise that cigaret smoking
Is causally related to' cancer ofI the lung."
The'two men led off a series of',expert wi[
nesses' for cigaret makers to buttress their
case against legislation before the House Com-,
merce Committee. The panel has under con-
sideratinn several bills that would require
warnings on cigaret labels and' in' advertising.
The Federal Tra:de Commission independentlx'
has proposed requiring', warnings that smok-
ing "tnay cause death from cancer and' other
diseases."'
" Alani S;, Donnahoe, ai newspaper exGputive
and' a lecturer on statistics at the University
of Richni toidi the committee that the data
oni smoking', and health compil;ed' by the Sur-
geon Generalls office, and reliedl on by the
FTC, "fail to meetl the minimum standards of
scientific sampling." He termed the data "In
ternally incons'ist'ent" and "unreasonable" in,
their implications.
He said the Surgeon General's study shows'
for instance, that cigaret smokers who take'
heavy exercise have' a lowetr mortality, rate j
than inactive nonsmokers and that married'i)
men who smoke live just as' long as single
men who don't.
1£ven more "astonlshing,"' he added, is that,

Ih three of't'he seven studies:lumped together~
lin the 8tlrgeon General's report, "the mor-
tali'iy' rate for cigaret smokers was lower t'han !the average"' for all Uid. males. The re-
port's explanation that the emokers surveyed
were healthier than the average male popula-
tion Is' hardly satisfying, he eatd,
Und'er, questloning; however, ritr.. Donnahoe
acknowledged that, both smokers and non-
smokerb, surveyed probably did enjoy better I
than average. health. The Surgeon Generalra
report found' the incidence of l lung cancer to
be iD times as great among the smokersi
Thomas H.' Burford a St. Louis surgeon,, ;
dismissed this finding as no more than: "a sta-
tistical, association which falls far short of
proving a' causal connection."' The causes of I
cancer remaitr, _unknown, and until they are j
determined! "it would seem only reasonable I
that to raise an alarm about cigaret smoking
Ys, unwarranted," Dr. Burford said.
This is the position takeni, for the reeord,,
by tobacco industry leaders In opposing Fed-
eral', legislation',. But,the lndustry was jolted by
the FTC' proposal' and is worried about an ab-
eence of restraint in the state leglelatures.
Thus the work the industry appears to i be
spreading among, to.baccostate Congressmen
is that a little Federal regulation might not,
hurt.
"There's no question, that' the industry
wants' legislation. They'dl have an Impossible
situation if the states moved in and created I
'al patchwork of confllcting, regulations ' a l
South, Carolina House member satd A North,
Carolinian, added, "There's a definite needl for 1
appropriate Federal action to, put, smokers on
'
~ guard, so long' as the notice Isn't made puni- 'I
tive."
Thus; the industry"s prime objective ap+
pears to be a Federali law that would pre+
ciude the'states from taking desperate actions.
(Fublic-health officials in several states, iri-
cluding, New York and' California, have prorrt-
isedl t'o post their own antismoking codes un-
less Federal sanctions are appl'led.)!
A secondary afm, lees' urgent at the mo-
ment is to undercut the FTC's proposed
I warning requirement, especially as it applies
' to ad'vertising. C(garet makers can, and itf«
, tend' to, delay enforcement of the FTC rulirtg
~ by challenging it In court: But only Congress
~ can allay the threat contained in the FTC's

Moreover, an FTC regulatlotti, whether stiff
or mild, would'n',t prevent the', atatesi from, fm-
poeing their awn standardh' in ad'ditton:
