The Irish Tobacco Business 1779-1935 by Seán Whitney Thesis The Irish tobacco business 1779-1935 By Seán Whitney Thesis completed under the supervision of Dr David Fleming In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Limerick February 2019 Declaration I confirm that the content of this thesis is my own original work except where otherwise indicated with reference to secondary sources. _________________________ Seán Whitney February 2019 i Abstract This thesis chronicles the manufacture, retailing and consumption of tobacco in Ireland. Its purpose is to demonstrate that tobacco played an important part in the economic and social life of the country. The tobacco trade evolved from hundreds of local small-scale merchants to one which boasted of having the largest tobacco factory in the world. It shows that a small number adapted to modern manufacturing and marketing methods and how they responded to the threats from overseas competition. The relationship between the state and the tobacco trade centred on the state’s need to protect the revenue it raised from duties placed on the commodity. The considerable body of legislation enacted, allied to the investment made by the state in establishing agencies to secure this revenue speaks loudly of the trade’s importance to the national economy. The threats from smuggling and adulteration and the perceived threat from domestic cultivation cast doubts on the true level of consumption in the early nineteenth century. By equating imports for home consumption as the official level of consumption, the study reveals that tobacco use continued to rise throughout the period despite wars, internal unrest, famine and depopulation. Irish consumer’s mode of consumption and choice of tobacco type differed from British and European customs. Fashion, price, convenience and marketing are shown to have contributed to the changes in the way tobacco was consumed and in who was consuming it. The study looks at the popularity of tobacco amongst the Irish poor contrasting their enjoyment of it with the views of those above them in society who saw it as a waste of meagre resources and thus morally wrong. The gendering of tobacco consumption in the nineteenth century is examined and shows how women were subject to societal mores that sought to separate them from tobacco and its users. The study highlights smoking as being symbolically important in the struggle for women’s equality. As an item of everyday consumption, tobacco was enjoyed at all levels of society which made the tobacco trade an important element in the economy in itself and as an essential source of state revenue. ii Contents Declaration i Abstract ii Contents iii List of tables and illustrations iv Abbreviations vii Acknowledgements vi Introduction 1 One- The business of the tobacco trade 15 Two- The threats to the state’s tobacco revenue 78 Three- Consumption: Quantities and modes 142 Four – Societal attitudes to tobacco 205 Conclusion 270 Bibliography 281 iii List of tables and illustrations 1.1 Irish tobacco imports (Pounds) 1790-1895. 22 1.2 Amounts paid to the revenue by Clune’s of Limerick, 1928-35. 56 1.3 Number employed in the tobacco trade in Ireland, by province 1841-1911. 58 1.4 Number of women employed in the tobacco trade in Ireland, by province, 1841-1911. 60 2.1 State revenue from tobacco duties 1790-1918 (£s). 80 2.2 Tobacco seizures (Pounds) in Ireland, 1816-25. 87 2.3 Amount of tobacco (Pounds) paying duty in Ireland, 1815-30. 89 2.4 Duty paid on tobacco in Ireland 1815-30. 89 2.5 Exports of Irish manufactured tobacco, (Pounds) 1772-1811. 101 2.6 Quantities of Irish grown tobacco, (Pounds) 1905-10. 120 2.7 Tobacco adulteration seizures in Ireland 1864-77. 137 3.1 Customs duties on snuff and unmanufactured tobacco in Ireland, 1790-1820. 149 3.2 Number of pounds of snuff paying customs duty in England and Ireland 1790-1826. 149 3.3 Snuff seizures (Pounds) in England and Ireland, 1789-1826. 150 3.4 Quantities of unmanufactured tobacco entered for home consumption in Ireland, 1800-97. 152 iv 3.5 Vegetable gardener at Belmont House, Co Carlow, smoking a dudeen pipe, c.1900. 153 3.6 Unusual Irish-made pipes, c. late 1820s. 154 3.7 Irish pipe tobacco consumption versus cigarette (Pounds) 1920-35. 170 3.8 Effect of duty rate changes on consumption in Ireland, 1793-1821. 174 3.9 Duty rate changes on unmanufactured tobacco in Ireland, 1789-1918 in pence per pound. 175 3.10 State revenue from tobacco imported into Ireland 1800-26. 175 3.11 Tobacco and tea consumption 1845-60 (pounds. 176 3.12 Tobacco consumed per capita in Britain and Ireland (in pounds) 1800-1910. 179 3.13 Irish Tobacco revenue, 1909-18. 182 3.14 Total U.K. tobacco revenue showing Irish contribution 1900-1920. 183 3.15 Irish tobacco consumption and receipts 1924-1935. 185 3.16 ‘Paragon’ newspaper advertisement 1906. 188 3.17 ‘Park Drive’ cigarette advertisement 1910. 189 3.18 Mick McQuaid enamel poster c. late 1920s. 192 3.19 Clune’s ‘Sarsfield Plug’ enamel advertising poster c.1910-40. 192 3.20 The Park Kiosk Limerick. 193 v 4.1 Salruck Graveyard, County Galway, c.1890-1903. 223 4.2 N.A.

Their support in the form of fee waivers and field research funding was essential to the completion of this thesis and for this I am sincerely thankful. Equally important was the advice, assistance and encouragement given freely over the last four years by members of the faculty and the department; in no particular order, Dr Ciara Breathnach, Dr Carmel Hannan, Dr Martin Power, Professor Anthony McElligott and Professor Eoin Devereaux. I also extend my thanks to Pattie Punch, Ken Bergin and the library staff at the university. I will be forever grateful to my supervisor, Dr David Fleming, for his guidance throughout the period of this research. His knowledge, experience, wisdom and enthusiasm were central to the completion of this study. I remain indebted to Ms Holly O’Farrell and Mr Robert Collins for their helpful and friendly advice and to John and Mary Mullen for their generous hospitality. I would particularly like to acknowledge the assistance of Mr Brian Walsh, County Museum Dundalk and Mr Alan O’Kelly, P.J. Carroll, Dublin who facilitated access to the P.J. Carroll company records in their possession. My thanks go to Mr Jim Murphy formerly managing director of P.J. Carroll for his assistance in obtaining a copy of an unpublished company history. I extend my thanks to the ever helpful staff in the National Archives of Ireland, the National Library of Ireland, the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland and the British Library. I would like to sincerely thank my wife Phil and my family for their unyielding support in these last few years. Without their support and encouragement this thesis would never have been completed. I imagine Phil’s private thoughts match the sentiments once expressed by Dr Martin Luther King, ‘free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we’re free at last’. viii Introduction Tobacco, sugar and the potato must be considered the earliest and most enduring of the botanical elements which entered Ireland in what Alfred W. Crosby termed, the Colombian exchange, following the discovery of the New World.1 The initial arrival of tobacco into Europe was conducted along Spanish trade routes from where its use spread to northern Europe, the Mediterranean countries and eastwards to the Ottoman lands and onwards to China and Japan.2 The European commodification of the tobacco plant used by Native American tribes as part of their sacred and cultural traditions was an increasingly important part of the development of transatlantic trade routes which involved the sending of manufactured goods to Africa, the onward shipping of slaves to the Americas and the return to Europe of goods including tobacco.3 By the 1630s tobacco consumption and cultivation was practised worldwide and having overcome official objections to its use in most of these regions the commercial value and revenue collection potential of tobacco was recognised by merchants and the state.4 In Ireland, tobacco has been consumed since the Elizabethan era.

  • Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 How the Act Affects: Tobacconists
    Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 How the Act Affects: Tobacconists The Basics The Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 prohibits the smoking of tobacco, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to vape any substance, and the smoking of cannabis (medical and recreational) in enclosed workplaces and enclosed public places, as well as other designated places in Ontario, to protect workers and the public from second- hand smoke and vapour. Smoking refers to the smoking or holding of lighted tobacco or cannabis (medical or recreational). Vaping refers to inhaling or exhaling vapour from an electronic cigarette or holding an activated electronic cigarette, whether or not the vapour contains nicotine. Tobacconists A tobacconist is a business registered with the local Board of Health that primarily sells specialty tobacco products. This includes tobacco products and accessories (e.g., cigars, pipes, humidors), but does not include cigarettes. Sales and Inventory A retailer can register as a tobacconist with the local Board of Health if specialty tobacco products account for at least 85 per cent of its total sales in the previous year. If the retailer has been in operation for less than a year, at least 85 per cent of the retailer’s total inventory purchases or sales during that time period must relate to specialty tobacco products. The remaining up to 15 per cent of the store’s revenues or inventory would have to be from cigarettes or other items reasonably associated with a tobacco product or branded with the name of the tobacconist or a brand of tobacco. Exemption for Tobacconists Display A registered tobacconist is permitted to display and promote specialty tobacco products, including heat-not-burn products, if the following conditions are met: 1 1.

  • Other Tobacco Products (OTP) Are Products Including Smokeless and “Non-Cigarette” Materials
    Other tobacco products (OTP) are products including smokeless and “non-cigarette” materials. For more information on smoking and how to quit using tobacco products, check out our page on tobacco. A tobacco user may actually absorb more nicotine from chewing tobacco or snuff than they do from a cigarette (Mayo Clinic). The health consequences of smokeless tobacco use include oral, throat and pancreatic cancer, tooth loss, gum disease and increased risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. (American Cancer Society, “Smokeless Tobacco” 2010) Smokeless tobacco products contain at least 28 cancer-causing agents. The risk of certain types of cancer increases with smokeless tobacco: Esophageal cancer, oral cancer (cancer of the mouth, throat, cheek, gums, lips, tongue). Other Tobacco Products (OTP) Include: Chewing/Spit Tobacco A smokeless tobacco product consumed by placing a portion of the tobacco between the cheek and gum or upper lip teeth and chewing. Must be manually crushed with the teeth to release flavor and nicotine. Spitting is required to get rid of the unwanted juices. Loose Tobacco Loose (pipe) tobacco is made of cured and dried leaves; often a mix of various types of leaves (including spiced leaves), with sweeteners and flavorings added to create an "aromatic" flavor. The tobacco used resembles cigarette tobacco, but is more moist and cut more coarsely. Pipe smoke is usually held in the mouth and then exhaled without inhaling into the lungs. Blunt Wraps Blunt wraps are hollowed out tobacco leaf to be filled by the consumer with tobacco (or other drugs) and comes in different flavors. Flavors are added to create aromas and flavors.

  • Spring 2010 the Bell
    SPRING 2010 THE BELL Eric Harding Thiman was born at Ashford, Kent on 12th September 1900, the son of a Congregational minister. He was educated at Caterham School, and after early lessons in the piano, organ and violin, and some coaching for degree work from Harold Darke, he attained the Mus. D. at London when only twenty- seven. He became organist at Park Chapel, Crouch End, North London in 1927, and in 1957 moved to the City Temple (often referred to as the Cathedral of the Free Churches), where he remained until his death on 13th February 1975. From 1931, he was Professor of Harmony and Composition at the Royal Academy of Music, and from 1956 for several years, Dean of the Faculty of Music at London University. He became well known as an adjudicator at musical festivals and as an examiner for the Royal College of Organists, the Royal Military School of Music and the Royal Schools of Music. A tireless conductor of choral societies, he worked latterly with the Elysian Choir. Thiman was a prolific composer of anthems, services, part-songs, church and secular cantatas and pieces for the piano, organ, strings and orchestra. He was Musical Editor of the hymn book Congregational Praise and the author of a number of text books. Appearing in a golden age of English music, in which songwriters like Quilter, Ireland, Bax, Warlock, C. W. Orr, Moeran and Finzi flourished, Thiman’s songs were easily overlooked. This selection shows that their neglect is unjustified; some deserve to survive in the permanent repertory of English song.
