Abstract

The purpose of this study was to secure information tend­ing to verify, or to disprove the current opinions regarding the effects of smoking upon living organisms. Since the opin­ions regarding the effect of smoking upon man vary so enor­mously it was decided to subject animals to a controlled amount of cigarette smoke to see whether any of the harmful effects described by the opponents of tobacco could be pro­duced: or, if these harmful effects were not evident, to see whether the beneficial results described by the friends of tobacco could be observed.
