Cigar smoking’s curious blend of boho chic attracted the French literati to 1830s Seville in their droves. One of those writers was Prosper Mérimée, a prominent figure in the French Romantic movement. When he encountered the factory girls of Seville he was so inspired, he penned Carmen. He and his fellow writers returned to Paris totally enthralled by the cigarreras and their cigarettes, and thus, the most famous word the French have given the world was born.
When they wrote about the cigarette, they always referred to it in the feminine and so a link between smoking and sexuality was forged. Smoking had always been the domain of men. The cigarette changed all that.
Isn’t it lovely to think of cigarette smoking to come from such a romantic legacy? It’s a far cry from the days when the Spanish Inquisition would torture to death anyone indulging in what they considered to be the satanic practice of smoking. Also a far cry from today when cigarettes smokers are brandished a weak victims of an evil vice. Ironically the language has changed little.
If it wasn’t for those factory girls, it’s unlikely that Marlene or Marilyn or Betty would have smoked. If it wasn’t for those factory girls, it’s unlikely that I or my friends or my mother or my granny would have smoked. Of course there was also a more virulent machine in place in the form of American tobacco companies who were, as ever, hell bent on global domination.
They did everything to ensure we all smoked from hooking us with movie stars to creating unforgettable icons. All anyone has to do is mention a camel and anyone, smoker or no, can see the branding on the fag pack that bears that name. So what? So, they did a good job. That’s what they supposed to do and we were easy prey.
In 1967 it was proved conclusively at the University of Michigan that nicotine was the reason that people smoked. The addictive quality of nicotine answered a question that had plagued scientists for centuries: why smoke?
