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 thought “handing round cigarettes helps to break the social ice and hide any inferiority complex.” One ’youth in every three said: “Smoking made you feel grownup,” but very few girls said '■that. One in every eight non-smokers admitted that he envied smokers, and one smoker in every five said tfhat he envied those free from 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 Ng. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Cold, 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 i is safeguarded. 1
