The great increase in the number of smokers in London particularly amongst women —has led the managers of the underground railway to alter their passenger regulations. There are now no carriages labelled " Smoking, " on the underground, but instead 30 per cent, of the cars are set apart for nonsmokers. It will come to that in 'New Zealand by-and-bye. Haters of" the divinest weed under Heaven," as Charles Kingsley called it, may rave about the huge annual increase in the consumption of tobacco, but smoking does moi’C good than harm so long as the baccy is pure and with little nicotine in it. And that’s where our New Zealand tobacco comes in! The leaf s toasted. That gives this tobacco its unique flavour and bouquet, and also kills the nicotine, thus rendering the goods perfectly innocuous. While the imported brands reek with the poisonous nicotine, the New Zealand is practically free from it. There are various brands of the latter, perhaps the most popular being liiverhcad Gold, Navy Cut, Cavendish and Cut Plug.*
