"Robert iLouis Stevenson once declared, according to one of liis biographers: “No woman should marry a man who doesn’t smoke,” and Stevenson, it must be admitted, knew human nature. Another famous man of letters, Bulwer-Lytton, vrote (see his novel, “What will he do with it?”). “He’who doth not smoke hath either known no greater grief, or refuseth himself the softest consolation next to that which coi“es from heaven.” As to the harmfulness of the habit much very much —depends upon the tobacco. Brands heavily charged with nicotine are best avoided. In that'respect and in other respects our own New Zealand grown tbbaefjos hold pride of place, because they contain comparatively little nicotine and may therefore be indulged in ad. lib., without affecting nerves or heart. Doubtless that is why they are finding favour with so many smokers.
