Brands full of nicotine won’t “rest the nerves,” and may affect the heart. And unfortunately, most of the imported tobaccos contain an excess of nicotine, in which respect they differ essentially from the brands produced by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (the pioneers of the tobacco industry in New Zealand), which, being comparatively free from nicotine, may be smoked all day long and no harm done.
