The Problem of Dim Lighting in London Underground Trains

One of the problems that the London Underground faced almost immediately after its opening in 1863 was the issue of dim lighting inside the train carriages. To protect themselves from unwanted attention from unfamiliar passengers, both men and women used a certain object that they held in their mouths while riding the subway.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific information about the exact object that was used to address this issue in the early days of the London Underground. The search results did not provide any relevant information regarding this particular practice. It is possible that the object used varied among individuals and was not standardized.
