Scene: Auckland suburban motor-bus. Tall stranger of forbidding aspect to young fellow enjoying his pipe. "How tong, may I ask, have you been addicted to the pernicious habit of smoking?" "Well, if it will do you any good to j know, ten years, governor." "Anti the cost?" "Two bob a week*" "Tut, tut! over £5 a year! Is it worth it, my friend?' "I shouldn’t wonder! —every blooming penny of it boss. Got a match?" The tall stranger groaned. Everybody else laughed. These busybodies mean well. But why will they butt in? Smoking’s not a crime. It’s quite harmless, too, so long as the baecys’ Tight. Avoid brands rich in nicotine, as the imported brands invariably are. They are dangerous. Stick to New Zealand toasted baccy and you’ll be as right as rain. The toasting kills the nicotine and makes the tobacco safe to smoke. There are only four brands of toasted —Eiverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3, and Cut Plug No. 10. Sweet, cool and fraggrant every one of them ! 164
