Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 March 1913 — Queen Victoria Detested Tobacco. [ARTICLE]

Queen Victoria Detested Tobacco.

The number of smoking rooms now distributed over . Windsor castle would considerably astonish Queen Victoria could she but see them. Her late majesty could never bring herself to do more than tolerate the weed in any form, and the smoking room was always relegated to a very distant part of her various residences. Nor were the guests permitted to solace themselves with a quiet smoke in their own apartments, as on their arrival they were specialy warned not to do so.
