The ladies used to say “they couldn t bear tobacco smoke; it made them quite ill.” Now most of them will tell you "they just love it.” Which is doubtless why they rush the smoking compartments on the trams and trains, so that men who are “hungering for a whiff” are often crowded out. Tobacco smoke is certainly pretty powerful sometimes. Baccy highly charged with nicotine will make it so. Brands like that mostly come from Yankeeland, and should be given a wide berth. Ask the doctors— they know. The purest tobaccos obtainable are those of the National Tobacco Company, Ltd. (the pioneers of the tobacco industry in New Zealand). Sweet, cool and fragrant they appeal to all smokers. Quite harmless, too, because they are toasted (no other tobaccos are). You may -moke them from sunup to sunset—and after—without fear of consequences Ask any tobacconist for National Tobacco Co.’s Riverhead Gold (mild) Desert Gold, Navy Cut or Cavendlsn (medium), or Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength). There’s a brand to suit every smoker
