There is a clause in the Bush Fires Prevention Act for the same purpose but it is almost a dead letter, a conviction under it never being heard of. The practice of smoking in the open air, however, is as dangerous as it is difficult to be dealt with in a hot climate like this; and it would be carrying the law too far to prohibit the habit altogether... It would not be unreasonable, perhaps, and insist upon the use of covered pipes, which we have seen gone unmolested on the railroads in England where smoking, generally, is prohibited. This may seem to be a harsh interference with personal inclination, but extreme cases require extreme measures

To hard-working women, just as much as men, tobacco is an invaluable servant. There are moments after seven or eight hours of brain-work when "a good cigarette is like the gift of a new head."... It encourages domestic good comradeship in the evenings.
