Editorsâ€™ note: Sunday we talked about the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I. The year 1918 was significant too for a certain commodity that [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] would have lasting repercussions on society. Tuesday, which is Veterans Day, weâ€™ll continue the series with a look at a controversy that landed Bell County in the national news - in both a good and a questionable light. Wednesday: The epidemic that took millions of lives.

This year is the 90th anniversary of another significant event in world history - the rise of cigarettes.
â€œYou ask me what we need to win this war? I will tell you, we need tobacco, more tobacco - even more than food,â€ said Gen. John â€œBlack Jackâ€ Pershing, the commander of U.S. [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] troops in Europe during World War I. He wrote to R.J. Reynolds Co., adding that â€œtobacco is as indispensable as the daily rations; we must have thousands of tons of it without delay.â€
During World War I, troops received free cigarettes to help U.S. tobacco companies build customers. Reynolds Tobacco introduced Camels in 1913. Capitalizing on the popularity, [url=http://www.dearilievi.it]moncler outlet[/url] American tobacco introduced Lucky Strikes [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] in 1917. By the time the U.S. entered the war in April 1917, soldiers received free cigarettes.
Cigarette advertising depicted smoking soldiers as brave, loyal, patriotic [url=http://www.diecastlinks.co.uk]hollister outlet[/url] and masculine. The maker of loose tobacco in cloth packs, Bull Durhamâ€™s advertising campaign proclaimed, â€œWhen our boys light up, the Huns [url=http://www.tagverts.com/barbour.php]www.tagverts.com/barbour.php[/url] will light out.â€
Closer to home, several Temple businesses stepped up cigar and cigarette manufacturing as mom-and-pop shops. Many Temple saloons, closed because of local-option prohibition, retooled as tobacco shops. For example, Aaron Strasburger quit his traveling sales job and started producing hand-rolled cigars in his home across the street from Scott & White hospital. Nurses were forbidden to smoke (or bob their hair, for that matter), but doctors, his best customers, [url=http://www.corsodiesperanto.it/hoganit.html]hogan outlet[/url] enjoyed his hand-rolled stogies.
Bell County towns, especially those located along railroad lines, launched cigarette drives to â€œSend Sammie a Smoke.â€ The Telegram published [url=http://www.burnabystorage.com/barbour.php]barbour italia[/url] daily [url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] front-page articles and tallies on numbers of cartons collected and shipped overseas.
E.A. Limmer in his memoir, â€œBartlett: [url=http://www.diecastlinks.co.uk]hollister uk[/url] The Best Little Town in Texas,â€ described how the townâ€™s women organized a Red Cross Auxiliary in May 1917. One of their important duties was to gather donations of cigarettes and doughnuts for soldiers on passing trains.
At warâ€™s end in November 1918, the country recovered from the double blows of an influenza epidemic and [url=http://www.corsodiesperanto.it/moncleroutlet/]moncler outlet[/url] bringing home its wounded and war-weary soldiers.
A few months later in 1919, Washington University medical student Alton Ochsner, who later established his own medical center in New Orleans modeled after Scott & White, observed his first lung cancer surgery. His professors said the rare procedure would be â€œsomething you may never see againâ€ because lung cancer was so rare.
Ochsner did not see another lung cancer case for 17 years. Then he saw eight in six months - all smokers who picked up the habit during World War I.
