When the Waikato tram reached Mercer the other day, a lady of determined aspect thrust her head in at the door of a second-class smoker, and addressing a small man with a pipe in his mouth who was chatting with other passengers, exclaimed: "Henry, put that pipe away, and come to my carriage. You've smoked quite enough. D'you hear me?" "It's toasted tobacco I'm smoking, my dear," meekly replied the small man, "there's no nicotine in toasted tobacco, so it can't hurt me." But he was hustled out. "The grey mare," laughed somebody. "Alas! Poor Henry!" said somebody else. And they all laughed. But "Henry" was quite right. Tobacco freed of its nicotine by toasting cannot hurt anyone. And that's just where it differs from the imported leaf, more or less full, as it mostly is, of nicotine. There are only four brands of toasted manufactured: Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10—all famous for flavour and fragrance. But of course there are imitations. Every good thing is imitated. (199)
