Three Cigarette Fcults
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" afler
smoking all you want.
If Fatimas, for instance,
seem to you TO be guilty on
any one Of those three counts,
we say, avoid Fatimas.
