I have a question or two concerning the link between the alcohol
 temperance/prohibition
movement and the tobacco temperance/prohibition movement.  I have read brief
statements and hints that the tobacco movement had connections to the alcohol
movement during the 1800s and early 1900s, but nothing solid.
 
     Was there a connection between individuals and organizations working on
alcohol and/or tobacco prohibition issues?
 
     For example, following alcohol prohibition Evangelist Billy Sunday
declared, "Prohibition is won; now for tobacco". I read one brief statement that
in the 1830s the first organized anti-tobacco movement in US began as adjunct
to the temperance movement. In the 1890s the Women's Christian Temperance
Movement published at least two leaflets, by Lida B. Ingalls, discussing the
evils of tobacco, especially cigarettes. In one Ingalls writes, cigarettes are
 'doing
more to-day to undermine the constitution of our young men and boys than any
other one evil'. Didn't Lucy Payne Gaston once work for alcohol prohibition?;
she certainly ended her life working on tobacco prohibition.
 
     FYI, a tobacco history timeline can be found on Tobacco BBS at the web
addresses of:   http://www.tobacco.org/History/Tobacco_History.html
