The late Mr Joliffe, film censor, was fond of his pipe and declared he could, from his own personal experience, explode the theory that smoking was bad for the eyesight. Of course. The enemies of the weed are always inventing stories to its detriment. There is nothing wrong with tobacco, provided it is the right kind. Brands containing an excess of nicotine are certainly injurious, and most, if not all, the imported tobaccos are open to this objection. The purest varieties are produced here in New Zealand. Containing only a minimum percentage of nicotine these tobaccos may be freely indulged in with safety. Another point is that the leaf is toasted in the process of manufacture. This develops flavour and aroma in a very marked way. Even the doctors have nothing but praise for these tobaccos, which are manufactured in several strengths so as to suit all tastes. Ask any tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold,” a mild aromatic, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), a delightful medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), a fine fullflavoured sort.—Bs.
