the pretty lady guide to making your own cigarettes!

oh yes!
how many times have you been down at the local village shoppe, reluctantly handing over hard earned cash to a frankly undeserving shop owner und thought
"I could save so much if only I could kick this appallingly anti-social habit... why, if I put all the cash I saved in a big jar, by the end of the year/month/week I could have enough for a beautiful holiday in Gran Canaria"

well, with our help, you can HAVE that holiday UND keep up that habit!

here's what you'll need

some leaves, from trees
some paper
cotton wool
sellotape
some felt tip pens

1.
dry the leaves out thoroughly, then, using a pestle und mortar or thereabouts, crush them to a crumbly, tobacco-like consistency

2.
take your piece of paper und cut to cigarette size

3.
take a small amout of cotton wool und place it at one end of the paper, this is to be your filter, playing an important part in keeping any life threatening toxins out of your lungs, und therefore VERY important

4.
sprinkle some of your 'tobacco' along the remaining area of paper

5.
roll into that familiar tube shape, und affix with sellotape

6.
using your felt tip pens, colour the end of your cigarette that familiar yellowy-brown... for added sophisticasssion why not use vibrantly coloured pens along the remainder to create a 'cocktail cigarette' feel?!

7.
ignite und enjoy, perhaps dreaming of all the holiday destinasssions now at your fingertips!
