Cigarette Sale Prohibited at Ellis Island

The sale of cigarets has been prohibited at the immigrant landing station of Ellis Island, New York. The order was issued at the request of the authorities of several western states which have recently passed laws prohibiting the sale of cigarets within their borders. It had been found that immigrants were bringing large quantities of cigarets west to supply their friends and relatives who were unable to buy them.
