Collecting cigarette-ends, tossed aside by smokers, is now quite an industry amongst the down and out of London. The tobacco is carefully separated from the fragment of paper about it, and sold by the pound to manufacturers of low-grade “gaspers. ” It is generally sodden with nicotine, and doctors say it ; s unlit to smoko. Yes, nicotine lias a lot to answer for! Practically ail the imported tobaccos —pipe and cigarette —contain far too much of it to lie healthy for the smoker. Sometimes it affects the heart —if constantly used — sometimes it wrecks the nerves. There 's only one way of getting rid of it —by toasting the tobacco, which then becomes perfectly innocuous. The process also vastly improves the flavour and aroma. There arc only four brands of toasted: Kivcrliead Gold, Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 and Navy Cut No. 3. None others are manufactured. You can smoke them from daylight to dark. They are. harmless. The poison has been extracted from them. They appeal to ail smokers.*
