1 j ""IN ——, j 1 Why do people smoke? An English t ' soc * a * welfare organisation has been [ . poking into this. Three hundred peopie were questioned and it came out 1 | that many thought “handing round | cigarettes helps to break the social ice ! and (h’de any inferiority complex.” j One youth in every three said “Smoking made you grown-up,” but 1 very few said that. One in every eight •non-smokers admitted that he envied smokers, and one smoker in every five said that lie envied those free from the habit. So there you are! Taking one consideration with another those I who' smoke are happier and more contented than those who don’t. And if an enquiry could be instituted into the tastes of smokers it would almost certainly be found- that*th£ most popular' brands going are the toasted ones —Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulkhead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Biver- I head Gold, and Desert Gold. These famous blends, so fragrant and com- i forting are also the purest for most of their nicotine is toasted out of them. Thus even the heavy smoker is safeguarded.—Ad vt.
