"Everybody smokes now—man, woman and child.” Thus said Mr Barry Pain, the well-known London writer, in the last number of the "Windsor.” Yes, we all smoke — bar cranks. Why not? The habit contributes more to the sum total of human happiness than any other. It soothes our sorrows and enhances our joys. Never mind what its enemies may say. The worst they can say is that the nicotine contained in tobacco may prove highly , injurious. But that depends upon the tobacco. Imported brands ’tis true, are often so full of this poison that their free use may cause nerve and heart trouble. But what about our N.Z. tobaccos? They differ in as far as their content of nicotine is quite negligible in comparison. And —note this—New Zealand tobaccos are toasted. They're the only tobaccos that are. Hence their delightful flavour and fragrance. And they’re so pure you may smoke them with absolute impunity. They don’t require rubbing and they don’t bite the tongue. Even doctors recommend them. “Riverhead Gold” is mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Gut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) is full strength. Try them.
