That was six months ago, and I’ve never smoked since.’ “But why did you break it off?” “Doctor’s orders. Throat trouble developing.” “I reckon you miss your smoke?” “You bet I do; but it can’t be helped.” “Don’t know so much about that. Ever smoked toasted tobacco?” “No, and now I never shall. I’m through with smoking.” “But toasted tobacco’s different. No ‘bite’ in ivoiy little nicotine in toasted Fact is, the stuff’s mostly toasted out of it. Don’t want to over-persuade you but I’d ask the doctor if I were you, for leave to try toasted ” “So x will, then.” He did. Now he’s enjoying his pipe once more. Toasted is not only the most fragrant and delightful of all tobaccos, but the most harmless. There’s nothing finer manufactured.
