BLIND SMOKERS
ST. DUNSTAN’S CENSUS. The view that it is difficult to enjoy smoking unless one can actually see the smoke is disproved by an unofficial census among the sightless men at St. Dunstan’s. Nearly 2,000 War-blinded ex-Ser-vicemen are under the care of St. Dunstan’s, and it was found that more than 95 per cent, were ardent smokers, both of cigarettes and pipes. At the Brighton , St. Dunstan’s, which is used as a convalescent and holiday home, it is estimated that over a period of nearly 20 years 98 per cent, of those who have stayed there have enjoyed smoking.
