“No, girls didn’t smoke when I was a girl,” said a white-haired Wellington lady to an interviewer. “Didn’t dream of it! Now I’m told lots of them smoke as many cigarettes as their brothers or -fiances do. Must be very bad for them.” “Oh, not necessarily,” said the scribe, with a smile. “Modern methods of culture and manufacture have revolutionised things. Take the most popular brands of cigarette tobaccos now—Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition. All are virtually free from nicotine, because they’re toasted, consequently harmless, and all are unequalled for quality. Life’s far more strenuous than formerly, and the genuine “toasted,” with its calming, soothing influence, is really a boon. The three other toasted brands —Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) —make excellent cigarettes, too, but are chiefly favoured by pipe smokers.” “Ah, well,” conceded the old lady, “times have changed, as you say, and perhaps modem girls (men too!) are fortunate to have these toasted tobaccos at their service.” “Believe me, madam,” said the journalist, “they are!”
