Comments on: Smoking Etiquette http://edwardianpromenade.com/amusements/smoking-etiquette/ la belle epoque in our modern world Wed, 16 May 2012 00:40:29 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Hels http://edwardianpromenade.com/amusements/smoking-etiquette/#comment-16562 Hels Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:48:24 +0000 http://edwardianpromenade.com/?p=1968#comment-16562 I think books on etiquette were an essential tool either when social customs were new or existing customs were changing. Noone wanted to accidentally create offence to others and noone wanted to make fools of themselves. * But weren't some of the rules hilarious eg smoking is forbidden when a gentleman is lifting his hat or bowing.

I would have included etiquette for such a practice, but ran out of space. However, needless to say, it was deplored by all from the earlier etiquette books to the oldest. @Elizabeth: Carry was unique, to say the least. In my study of feminists of this era, there were a lot of dichotomies: for example, the temperance movement was headed by women, yet it was a sign of independence for a woman to be able to order her own drinks, and drink more than one glass! @ Victoria: Thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed it. @ Ani: spitting was an American horror. I would have included etiquette for such a practice, but ran out of space.

I've just written a chapter on Carry Nation, and she loved to run around pulling cigars and cigarettes out of peoples mouths on the streetcars and on the streets. And I just read that in 1908, NY banned women from smoking. It’s so funny.

Thank you. I still meet men from all walks of life who behave in a gentlemanly fashion by asking for permission to smoke. I wish men would be as considerate regarding spitting, a detestable habit that to me is more disgusting than smoking. Anyway, your article pleasantly reminded me of my father and uncles with their pipe and cigar paraphernalia. Watching my father set up his pipe always fascinated me! Ani Another wonderful article.
