Women smokers? Why are they as plentiful as blackberries in Autumn? The proprietor of a leading Melbourne restaurant was talking about it to a reporter the other day. "Formerly,” he said, "every restaurant had its smoke-room where men could smoke in peace. But after the war girls invaded these places, yes, and insisted on smoking at meals, too. And we daren’t object. We should have lost their custom.” It’s the same in our big New Zealand restaurants and hotels. W T ell, all said and done, smoking won’t hurt anyone—man or woman —so long as the tobacco is pure. Unfortunately it so seldom is! The foreign brands are often poisonous with nicotine. Can it be good to absorb that poison into the system every time you smoke ? The safe way is to smoke toasted New Zealand leaf. The toasting destroys practically all the nicotine. So you can smoke this tobacco freely as you please. It can’t hurt you. There are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gold, Cavandish, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10—all of them famous for flavour and fragrance.
