Cigarette Shortage Driven by Americans' Fast Smoking Rate
New York AP reports a rare cigarette shortage driven by Americans smoking at record rates. Domestic production could reach 262 million cigarettes in 1944 but will be trimmed by manpower shortages, with 257.5 billion made in 1943 and 243.5 billion in 1942. Overseas shipments to armed forces will total about 63 billion in 1944. Strong demand for lend-lease and exports will cut domestic stocks, leaving popular brands scarce as servicemen abroad claim first call. Civilians benefited from good crops but face continued scarcity for two to three months.
