How to Win a Chinese Girl’s Heart – Colonial Singapore Style

1930s Singapore cigarette advertisement

How do you win the heart of a young Chinese woman? Do you impress her with your honesty and trust? Is it humor that appeals to her? Maybe it’s good looks that she’s after? Or is it money that really talks? Well if you had lived in colonial Singapore in the 1930s, the answer to this question would have been “none of the above.” For in those days there was only one path to a young Chinese woman’s heart, and that path passed through her smoke-filled lungs. Where did the path begin? With Four Aces cigarettes – “These are the cigarettes dear to my heart.”
