A Melbourne paper has been inviting opinions about smoking. One man wrote: “When faced with some tougn problem, as sometimes happens, and undecided how to act, I get by myself and light up the old briar, and after a quiet smoke I generally find a way out. I owe a lot to tobacco.” Well, we all know the right tobacco clears the brain and soothes at the same time.
