All places

This image shows a mixed media collage centered on a vintage document about smoking etiquette. The background is cream-colored with purple accents. Decorative elements include a large purple butterfly, small flower stickers in various colors, and a red rose illustration. There's a film strip-style photo of a flower, an old receipt, and a tax stamp. Parts of the text are blacked out with purple strokes, creating a blackout poetry effect.

100 to 1, or so it seems, about the only thing we who also live in these

cities

The pepper when he pleases!

enjoy “the pepper” or stay in our own homes, and even there admit

harder.

the movies are still free from smoke otherwise there

lately parlor cars were smokeless
