Another narcotic, the destructive influence of which is wide and serious, is tobacco. Its pernicious influence, like that of alcohol, is peculiarly hurtful to the young, as the cell development during the years of growth is easily disturbed by noxious agents.

The appetite is diminished, nutrition perverted and impaired, the stature stunted, and both bodily and mental powers are enfeebled. Effect of Tobacco upon the Bones.
