Ateshian Turkish Cigarrets,1895

Ladies and gentlemen smoke Ateshian Turkish Cigarrets. In the English-speaking world, the use of tobacco in cigarette form became widespread during and after the Crimean War, when British soldiers began emulating their Ottoman Turkish comrades and Russian enemies, who had begun rolling and smoking tobacco in strips of old newspaper for lack of proper cigar-rolling leaf. This was helped by the development of tobaccos suitable for cigarette use, and by the development of the Egyptian cigarette export industry. 1895 advertisement (cropped and cleaned).
