“Como now, said counsel, in a recent South Island case, “you say you are a moderate smoker. How many pipes do you smoko a day?” Tho witness hesitated, “Well,” said he (counting on his fingers) “one before breakfast,"two after breakfast, two after lunch, two after dinner, and sometimes one in tho middle of tho night.” (Laughter in court). “That makes eight,” remarked counsel. “Not so bad for a moderate smoker. “Not, if I were to indulge to that extent I’d soon be bowled over.” “Not if you smoked New Zealand tobacco, same as I do,” rejoined witness, “It's as different from tho imported as chalk from cheese. The American tobaccos are full of nicotine, and often undermine the health. Tho New Zealand is all but free from nicotine. Can’t hurt you however much you smoke. It’s toasted. That’s why.” Counsel was evidently impressed. The witness was right. New Zealand tobacco IS different. Delightful smoking, too, and quite harmless.
