There were» three hundred and fifty-six and three-- quarter millions of domestic cigarettes consumed; or a decrease of twenty- eight millions, and there were twelve and three-quarter minions oi import- ed cigarettes smoked, a decrease or about two millions. The results are more impgessive when it is remembered that the law was in three for only ‘mht months of the year. It became effective on July 20, 19085 and the year closed for statistical purposes on March 31, a declixie of'thirty millions; This is a fair assumption, as the consumption was. increasing more and more each year. and during the six'ycars prior to 1908 .the increase: amounted to over sgvgnty-five millions. -fi- .aauucm 31.110er 1n Canada last year than the year be fore.
