THANKS TO THE HYPNOTIST

I've smoked my last cigarette

IT is easy to stop smoking. Like Mark Twain, I have repeatedly My given it up over the years. drawers are full of souvenirs of old battles fought against the cigarette.

I have 188 bars of chewing-gura (fruit flavour); 48 packets of minta; 12 assorted pipes; 11 unfinished ounces of pipe tobacco; six plastic and three metal tobacco pouches;

421 pipe cleaners eight boxes of tiny Dutch cigars; seven imitation cigarettes — three with built-in menthol flavour which, through some minor fault in design, is apt to send a shower of menthol cry- atals down the throat. (This immediately curoa one of the menthol habit.)
