Smokers often wonder why theii tobacco so frequently burns the tongue. This is why: there’s too much nicotine in it. This acrid, evil-smelling poisonous stuff it is that plays up, sooner or later, not only with the tongue, bu,t with heart and nerves, causes smoker’s throat, and other ailments. Nicotine 'is common to all tobaccos, and is present in large quantities in most of the American brands. The constant use of the latter is certain to undermine the health.
