“Punch ’s’’ famous “advice to those about to marry” was “Don’t.” R. L. Stevenson’s advice to ladies contemplating matrimony was “never marry a non-smoker. ” Charles Reade, the novelist, who flourished before cocktails, night-clubs, votes for women and the intellectual superiority of the “softer sex” were invented counselled ladies to encourage their husband’s and fiances’ to smoke all they wanted .to. Daring advice at a time when women hadn’t learned to smoke and hated—or said they hated —tobacco. Ah, Well, the world grows wiser everyday! And it is becoming generally recognised that, given the right baccy, smoking, so far from proving harmful, is often positively beneficial. Unfortunately, however, the right baccy is not so common as it should be—save in Now Zealand. There are four brands: Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Cut Plug No. 10. Not one of them contains any nicotine worth mentioning; all are famous for thqir splendid quality. They arc toasted'.* —and quite harmless. They don’t affect heart or throat and are as pure os they are delicious. 297
