At the Wellington Police Court the other day while a witness was under examination, counsel suddenly hurried across to the “box” and told him he was “on fire!” Smoke was actually issuing from the man’s coat pocket, although he was blissfully ignorant of the fact. When he hastily pulled out his pipe it was half-full of burning tobacco. It appeared that he had removed the pipe from his mouth when he entered the court, thrust it into his pocket, and forgotten all about it. Smokers are often very careless in that way—and in another way. They’ll go on smoking tobacco reeking with nicotine and never realise their danger until their health gives way. Nicotine, it cannot too often be insisted, is poisonous stuff, and brands rich in it should be rigorously avoided. The safe and sure way is to smoke the genuine “toasted.” The five brands of the real thing—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, and tailormades, are unapproached for quality, and being toasted, are perfectly harmless. —613.
