At a Poplar (Loudon) inquest recently touching the death of a waterside worker, it transpired that deceased was quietly smoking his pipe by the kitchen lire after tea when he suddenly collapsed and died. It appeared that he was a heavy smoker, and habitually used a brand of American tobacco which the doctor who made the postmortem described as containing a high percentage of nicotine, and the constant smoking of which, he said, lia/d doubtless affected the heart in the course of years. Such eases arc not uncommon. Nicotine is a powerful poison, and is found in excess in most tobaccos of American origin. In marked contrast arc our own New Zealand tobaccos. Subjected to a special roasting or toasting process, these goods arc practically free from nicotine, while for flavour and aroma they challenge the world! Deprived of nearly all their nicotine, they are quite safe and may be smoked ad libitum without fear of consequences. Four brands only, remember: Eiverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut PlugNo. 10.
