Did you know that Lord Jellicoe was a devotee of the “weed?” He chiefly smokes cigarettes, but confines lnmself to one packet of ten per diem, Quite moderate- \es. Some people smoke thrice that quantity between breakfast, and bed. But despite the popularity of the “cig,” millions o.f smokers prefer the pipe. As to the iniuriousness of smoking it largely depends upon the tobacco. The imported brands, as li rule, are simply loaded with nicotine, so that their habitual use cannot be good. In that respect they differ materially from our New Zealand grown tobaccos. These are toasted—hence their delightful flavour and fragance. Also, they are comparatively free from nicotine and do not burn the tongue, wreck the nerves o, r affect the heart.
