Three Cigarette Faults, to Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that don't just suit your own taste.
 Second, avoid those that bother your throat or tongue.
 Third, avoid those that make you feel mean" after smoking all you want.
 If Fatimas, for instance, seem to you to be guilty on any one of those three counts. we say, avoid Fatin7as.
