To its influence we owe the ability to make uniform cigarettes, to control combustion, and to govern quality of smoke. Excessive moisture interferes with proper combustion, and makes cigarette smoke unpoict- able. Insufficient moisture permits dry, dusty cigorette smoke toimpinge upon the delicate mucous membrane of thesmoker. | “T's TOASTED"-Your throat protection-against irritation -against cough
