The campaign sought to pass smoking bans in public places as well as ban cigarettes themselves. HistoryThe group was founded in 1899 by Lucy Page Gaston, a teacher, writer, lecturer and member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Gaston maintained that cigarette smoking was a "dangerous new habit, particularly threatening to the young and thus likely to lead to the use of alcohol and narcotics, so prevalent in the 1890s." Gaston's mission attracted the attention and the patronage of like-minded progressives and members of the WCTU. By 1901 the organization claimed a membership of 300,000, with a paid staff overseeing chapters throughout the United States and Canada.[1] Between 1890 and 1930, 15 states enacted laws banning the sale, manufacture, possession, or use of cigarettes, and 22 other states considered such legislation.[2] Even the legislature of the tobacco-producing state of North Carolina considered cigarette prohibition laws in 1897, 1901, 1903, 1905, 1911, 1913, and again in 1917. Eventually, all the states repealed their cigarette prohibition laws and associated smoking bans in most public places. Kansas was the last to do so, in 1927.[3] References1. ^{{cite book | author = Cassandra Tate | title = "Cigarette Wars: The Triumph of the 'Little White Slaver" | publisher = Oxford University Press | date = 1999}} 2. ^ {{cite journal | last1 = Alston | first1 = Lee | last2 = Dupré | first2 = Ruth | last3 = Nonnenmacher | first3 = Tomas | title = Social reformer and regulation: The prohibition of cigarettes in the United States and Canada | date = 2002 | journal = "Explorations in Economic History" | volume = 39 | pages = 425-445 | url = http://www.colorado.edu/ibs/es/alston/econ8534/SectionIX/Alston,_Dupre_and_Nonnenmacher,_Social_Reformers_and_Regulation.pdf | access-date = September 4, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.heartland.org/news-opinion/news/history-shows-smoking-bans-likely-to-be-repealed?source=policybot|title=History Shows Smoking Bans Likely to Be Repealed |author=Richards, Jeremy |date=August 1, 2008 |publisher=The Heartland Institute |accessdate=April 29, 2010}} 2 : Defunct political advocacy groups in the United States|Defunct organizations based in the United States |
