Keeps Smoke Out of Eyes

And blow it into somebody else’s eyes.

Wishing to read his newspaper without the annoyance of clouds of smoke getting in his eyes, an Englishman invented an ingenious device–a flexible cigarette holder of unusual length in 1939. Not only does it keep smoke out of the eyes; it also keeps tobacco particles from getting in the mouth. The idea may spread like wildfire–or smokers may find it too much trouble to bother with.
