It's Hard Work Being Wicked
A young woman nonchalantly lights a cigarette and puffs on it. The nicotine buzz overwhelms her.
This was an era when it was not considered ladylike to smoke, which did not stop young ladies from doing so. This of us who have smoked well recall the first buzz whe the smoke hit our blood streams. This short subject by Frederick Armitage, a leading Biograph cameraman in this period, is half warning and half comedy, one whose time has passed, but was very amusing at the end of the 19th century.
