Londoners are drinking considerably less beer than they did, but smoking four times as much tobacco —according to the latest statistics. Well, it's the same story in New Zealand, and the greatly increased demand for the weed is not altogether due to the increase in population. It's largely attributable to ..the rate at which we all live now and the rush and hurry of modern life. People crave for something to relieve the nervous tension, and find that tobacco helps considerably. The ever growing demand for the latter has been far more marked in New Zealand since the introduction of "toasted" which has fairly captured the public taste and is actually preferred by smokers innumerable to the imported article. This is by no means surprising because "toasted" is not only of the very highest grade but so free, comparatively, from nicotine, thanks to toasting, as to be safe for even the heaviest smoker. The five brands, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are as near perfection as tobacco can well be. (6)
