“When a bloke tells mo 'c don’t smoke 'cause 'e 'as consheenshus objections,” remarked the bus driver, lighting his pipe, ‘‘l let it go at that. 'Taint nothing to do wif me. But if 'e 'as consheenshus objections to me smoking I reckon it’s like 'is ruddy cheek. Some coves don’t like oysters and stout. Well, that’s their misforchune. But why expect mo to toiler suit 1 ? Get me? Well it’s just the same wif smoking. If a party don ’t want to smoke nobody’s going to make him. It’s a free country. But smoking to me is what the poet blokes call ‘a joy for ever.’ So it is to millions more. And if I get real enjoyment out of my toasted bacca—which is Cut Rlug No. 10— that’s my funeral. Gotta match?” The philosophy of the bus driver is sound. No one is compelled to smoke Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold or Desert Gold. But most smokers do. So that’s that. And why not? These blends are champion—harmless, too. They’re toasted!
