The Book of Smoke

Sunday column

Now in the time of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman
and the films of noir
there was always an cigarette.

And this was very good for the ones known as Big Tobacco

And advertising, also, 
was exceeding good for the sellers of cigarettes.

And many were the shekels made by Big Tobacco.
And many millions and millions,
and even millions more,
did they make.

For once…
