Does smoking Shorten life? Tobacco- 1 haters say it does. But the deaths of centenarian smokers, so frequently chronicled in the papers, tell another story. So does the fact that many medical men are heavy smokers. The harmfulness or otherwise of smoking depends entirely on the tobacco. Some brands aro deadly, if you smoke them regularly. That's because they, contain sjich a lot of nicotine. Most of the imported tobaccos are like that. Our New Zealand brands, on the other hand, are almost free from nicotine, so that you can smoko them all day, (and every day), with impunity. The toasting process to which the leaf is subjected helps largely to get rid of the nicotine. Sweeter, cooler and more fragrant tobaccos money cannot buy. And they never bite the tongue. Also they burn to the last shred. There are half a dozen brands, more or less. Those chiefly in demand are: “Cut Plug No. 10” a rich, dark, full flavoured kind, ‘Cavendish” a pleasing medium, “Navy Cut No. 3” a blend of choice leaf of medium strength, and “Biverhead Gold” a delicious mild aromatic. rpHE Advertising Trend Is Toward The “.Times.”
