AVhat’s the difference ’twixt whisky and tobacco? It has been defined thus: “Whisky makes you talk;, tobacco makes you think.* ’ It’s certainly true that great painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, chess players and orators are generally great smokers. Antltobaccoitcs will tell you that smokers aro the slaves of a vicious habit and run all sorts of terrible risks. As a matter of fact, if tobacco is used, and not abused, it won’t hurt anybody, provided it is of good quality, and, of course, the loss nicotine it contains the bottcr. Unfortunately, most of the American tobaccos just reek with nicotine. And that’s where they differ from our New Zealand-grown brands, which are delightfully cool and full of flavour and fragrance. Moreover, they contain so little nicotine that you can go on smoking them until all is blue” and take no harm. That they are popular with smokers is proved by their very large sale. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” (mild), “Navy Cut” (medium), or “Cut Plug No. 10” (full strength). The latest addition is “Cavendish Mixture.”
