Anti-tobaccoite & are wont to say hard things ahout smoking, but quite often they are untrue. Tobacco may have its faults, but its virtues should not be overlooked. Smoking assists digestion; it is also a great preservative of the teeth and a destroyer of the harmful gferms which infest all people's mouths, while its soothing and tranquilising effects in times of mental stress, worry or exertion are well known to all smokers. But the quality should be good. Brands full of nicotine (like many of the imported varieties) are best avoided. Our own New Zealand-grown tobaccos contain comparatively little nicotine and msy consequently be smoked freely without injurious results, while owing to the leaf being toasted in the process of manufacture (quite a novel idea) they are remarkable for flavor and fragrance. The popular brands are "Riverhead Gold;" aromatic; "Navy Cut" (Bull'dog), medium; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength. The demand for these goods is growing so rapidly that the New Zealand tobacco industry is assuredly destined to become of the first unportance. x
