No discomfort, no trouble--just a common sense method of retaining a slender figure The finest tobaccos are skilfully blended to make Lucky Strike. Then, "Ifs Toasted." This secret process brings out every essence in the tobaccos and produces a flavor which makes Lucky Strike a delightful alternative when you crave fattening sweets--there is no interference with a natural appetite for healthful foods.

That's why folks say. 'It's good to smoke Luckies." At the same time toasting removes impurities. That's why 20,679 physicians are on record that Lucky Strike is less irritating than other cigarettes. That's why prominent athletes have testified that Luckies steady their nerves and do not impair their physical condition. No wonder that this was discovered long ago by many men, who pride themselves onkeepingtrim love the "pep" that comes with health and vigor.
