They had a short way with smokers j in days gone by, hi Turkey. Anyone | found indulging had his nose pierced, j and his pipe thrust through the hole! Doubtless some present-day enemies of the weed would like to see the old Turkish method of discouraging smokers revived and generally adopted! But despite all the abuse heaped upon it and all the attempts made to suppress it, smoking is now more popular than ever. Everywhere the consumption of tobacco is rapidly increasing. Here in New Zealand the increased demand has been especially noticeable of late years owing to the increased popularity of “toasted,” now generally recognised as the nurest and least harmful of all tobaccos, thanks to the manufacturer’s special toasting process, which not only frees it to a large extent of its nicotine but helps to give it its peculiarly flavour and delightful aroma. Ask for (and be careful to get) any of the genuine toasted brands—Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Riverhead Gold or Desert Gold I —and you’ll avoid imitations.
