Liszt, tho composer, is said to have abandoned the habit of smoking as a result of a misunderstanding with the Italian Customs authorities. Ho was accustomed to smoke but one cigar a day, and on n journey to Home had one cigar for.each day of his stay in the Holy City placed in his trunk. On being asked at the frontier if he had any tobacco to declare, he absent-mindedly shook his head. When the trunk was examined, nearly a hundred cigars were found! These were confiscated and their owner fined 500 franca. As a. result of this experience Liszt made a vow never to emoko again.
