It’s amazing what the cigarette smoking public at large will buy into in order to indulge in their preferred addiction. Take this promotion for Ghaza prefabricated rolling paper tubes for example. Apparently, there must have been a stir over which contained more nicotine: prepackaged or hand-rolled smokes. Being an advocate of rolling your own, the text of this poster proclaims “Banish the Nicotine Devil” in reference to their rivals. What this has to do with the Middle Eastern fellow prancing against the Islamic relief–other than attempting to make the papers themselves rather than the tobacco seem exotic–remains a mystery.
