Why do people smoke ? An English social welfare organisation has been looking into this. Three hundred people were questioned, and it came out that many thoughts “handing round cigarettes helps to break the social ice and hide any inferiority complex.” One youth in every three said: “Smoking made you feel gi’ownup,” but very few gii-ls said that. One in every eight non-smokers admitted that he envied smokers, and one smoker in every five said that he envied those free fi'om the habit. So there you are! Taking one consideration with another those 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 the most popular brands going are the toasted ones—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition. These famous blends, so fragrant and comforting, are also the purest, for most of their nicotine is toasted out of them. Thus even the heavy smoker is safeguarded. —R.P 194.
