Smoke Tobacco and End Up in Insane Asylum, 1911

From the Watauga Democrat, Boone, September 28, 1911

A word to you sonny—you little 12- or 13-year-old boy who is smoking cigarettes on the sly. What do you want to be when you grow up—a stalwart, healthy, vigorous, broad-shouldered man, or a little, puny, measly, no-count, weak-minded dude? If you want to be a man, with hair on your face, brains in your head and muscles in your limbs, you just let those cigarettes alone. If you want to be a thing pitied by your folks, despised by the girls and held in contempt by the fellows, keep right on smoking and end your days in the insane asylum.
