You can read the paper through this, it's so clean. Hello. Could you, please, explain to me what "can read the paper through this" means below? I heard it in an American movie. "Hey, you want a smoke? You can read the paper through this, it's so clean." It doesn't make much sense to me. Wonder if the paper means the newspaper. Thank you!
