At a rotary luncheon in South Canterbury the other day the talk drifted round to smoking, and an ancient mariner remarked: “I’d be lost w’ithout my pipe! When some months ago I consulted my doctor for throat trouble, he hinted I might have to give up smoking altogether. I was flabbergasted! Seeing me upset he asked what brand of tobacco I usually smoked. 'Cut it out!’ he roared when I told him. ’Like so many brands to-day, it's foul witn nicotine.’ Then he calmed down ‘You'll have to go slow for a bit,’ he said, 'but smoking in moderation—till you’re better —won’t hurt you, so long as it’s toasted—the genuine toasted 1 mean. mind. I smoke it myself. There’s next to no nicotine in it.’ Well, I did as I was told and was soon O.K. again. But I still stick to toasted. You can’t beat it.” Smokers everywhere will say “Hear, hear.” But, as the doctor said, it must be genuine toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold
