Custom A man walking up the street in Salt Lake City recently was witness to the truth that the smoker has little respect for any person or thing but his smoke. A young man, well dressed, was passing down the walk by the side of a young lady, conversing with her. As they passed our informant, the young man pulled out his can of tobacco and proceeded to make his cigarette, as he walked down the Main Street by the side of the lady. There was no remark from any one, for the scene is common, but think of the idea of walking down Main Street by the side of a well-dressed lady and pulling out a ham sandwich from your pocket, or an apple, and proceeding to masticate it.
