Tobacco and matches under French government control
The French government operates strict monopolies on tobacco and matches through the Administration des Tabacs and a state match monopoly begun in 1876. The tobacco industry employs about 90,000 workers, mainly women, with a domestic production and imports heavily regulated, yielding about £10,600,000 in revenue. Public revenue from cigarettes and cigars exceeds £55,000,000, three times the state income from the tobacco monopoly. The match monopoly, despite protests, remains in place, with annual net revenue around £2,000,000 and higher excise duties from matches.

Motoring Opinion On Balloon Tyres By Autocar Expert
Mr. Edge of Autocar reviews balloon tyres for Hatslooo or large section tyres. He notes comfort and car appearance improve, steering unaffected and climbs similar to standard tyres. Drawbacks include increased load on axles, need for spring changes, and a about 5 percent higher fuel consumption per mile. Additional tests by Mr Ridge express general preference for balloon tyres but cite caveats.
