Robert Louis Stevenson once declared, according to one of his biographers: "No woman should marry a man who doesn’t smoke,” and Stevenson, it must be admitted knew human nature.' Another famous man of letters, Bulwer-LyttOH, wrote (see his novel, “What will he do with it ?”) “He who doth not smoke hath either known no greater grief, or refuseth himself the softest consolation next to that which comes from heaven.” As to the harmfulness of the habit much —very much—depends upon the tobacco. Brands very heavily charged with nicotine are best avioded. In that respect and in other respects our own New Zealand grown tobaccos hold pride of place, because they contain comparatively little nicotine and may therefore be indulged in ad. lib., without affecting nerves or heart. Doubtless that is why they are finding favour with so many smokers. They are on sale everywhere, and are adapted to all tastes. “Riverhead Gold” is mild aromatic, “Toasted Navy Cut” (Bnlldog) a delightful medium, and “Cut Plug No 10” (Bull’s Head label) a fine full-flavoured tobacco.
