Die Cigarette : $b Ein Vademecum für Raucher
"Die Cigarette: Ein Vademecum für Raucher" by Stephan Dirk is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide for smokers, discussing topics such as the significance of cigarettes, the nuances of different types of tobacco, and the cultural implications surrounding smoking. At the start of the publication, the author addresses the surprising general ignorance about the cigarette among smokers, despite its widespread use and importance. He contrasts this with the knowledgeable appreciation many have for other indulgent substances like wine. The text details the complexities of cigarette production, including the distinct qualities of Orient tobacco and its mixtures, ultimately advocating for an appreciation of smoking culture and a better understanding of cigarette quality and consumption practices.
