Smoker’s htetailt is :i distressing malady caused chiefly through the effects of am alkaloid called Nicotine, which is extremely poisonous. Strong tobacco with a high percentage of nicotine should therefore be avoided. When selecting a brand, the smoker should noit be guided by apeparance alone, because even an apparently mild cigarette tobacco of a bright lemon colour may contain—and often does contain—an excess of nicotine. It is a peculiar fact that certain New Zealand soils produce a leaf with a very small percentage of nicotine, compared with the foreign type. Take for instance our local brands. Hive rhea d Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, and Toasted Navy Cut. There you have an absolutely pure article, which can he smoked continuously without the slightest after effects. It burns to the last shred, leaving the mouth sweet and clean. So highly is New Zealand tobacco commented upon by doctors and experts that smokers should acquaint themselves with the merits of our own product by giving the above brands a fair trial. (2)
