Chapter 1: Section 2: Page 17: Line 110-111 (215-216)

"Dude, your dad sucks. Take a hit of this."

"Chinese foofooraw"
A brouhaha or a commotion, in this case a Chinese one. Because Chick's dad was trying to sell Mississippi to a mysterious Chinese consortium out of Tijuana, Mexico. Does Chick have his own book series except maybe based on Trixie Belden books? Chick Counterfly and the Mexican Chinese Real Estate Mystery.

"a species of cigarette"
Well, it ain't tobacco! "Ain't" is preferred to "isn't" in drug discourse.
