Historical Note
The Anti-Cigarette League of America was founded in 1899 by Lucy Page Gaston. Gaston, a teacher who was troubled by the cigarette-smoking boys who performed poorly in her classes, started the league as part of the temperance and prohibition movements that were the driving force behind legislation that banned cigarettes in 15 states. Dissension grew among the members of the league during World War I, when cigarettes became a symbol of patriotism. Gaston protested against taxpayer money being spent to ship cigarettes to soldiers overseas while other members capitulated due to the movement's growing unpopularity from among the public. Gaston, refusing to compromise, was ousted from the Anti-Cigarette League of America and continued to form her own anti-cigarette groups, to little effect. When soldiers returned from World War I, the popularity of cigarettes exploded and the Anti-Cigarette League fell from prominence.
