“Punch’s” famous “advice to those about to marrv” was “Don’t.” R. L. Stevenson’s advice to ladies contemplating matrimony was “never marry a non-smoker.” Charles Reade, the novelist, who flourished before cocktails, night clubs, votes for women and the intellectual superiority of the “softer sex” were invented, counselled ladies to encourage their husbands and fiances to smoke all they wanted to. Daring advice at a time when women hadn’t learned to smoke, and hated—or said they hated—tobacco. Ah, well, the world grows wiser every day! And it is becoming generally recognised that, given the right baccy, smoking, so far from proving harmful, is often positively beneficial. Unfortunate-' ly, however, the right baccy is not so common as it should be—save in New Zealand. There are four brands: Navv Cut No. 3, Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Cut Plug No. 10. Not one of them contains any nicotine worth mentioning; all are famous for their splendid quality. They are toasted!—and quite harmless. They don’t affect heart or throat and are as pure as they are delicious. (297)
