Anchor Batter, from contented (21) cows.
Collecting- cigarette ends, tossed aside by smokers, is now quite an industry amongst the down and out of London. The tobacco is carefully separated from the fragment of paper about it, and sold by the pound to manufacturers of lowgrade “gaspers.” It is generally sodden with nicotine, and doctor’s say it’s unfit to smoke. Yes, nicotine has a lot to answer for! Practically all imported tobaccos —pipe and cigarette—contain far too much of it to be healthy for the smoker. Sometimes it affects the heart —if constantly used—sometimes it wrecks the nerves. There’s only one way of getting rid of it—by toasting the tobacco, which then becomes perfectly innocuous. The process also vastly improves the flavour and aroma. There are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gold, Cavendish Cut Plug No. 10, and Navy Cut No. 3. None others are manufactured. You can smoke them from daylight to dark. They are harmless. The poison has been been extracted from them. They appeal to all smokers. (153)
