Robert Louis Stevenson once declared, according to one of his biogtaphers: “No woman should marrv a man who doesn’t smoke.” and Stevenson. it must be admitted knew human nature. Another famous man of letters, Bulwer-Lytton, wrote (see his novel, “What will he do with it?”) “He who doth not smoke hath either known no greater grief, or refuselh himself the softest consolation next to that which comes from heaven.” As to the harmfnlness of the habit much—very much—depends upon the 'tobacco. Brands heavily charged with nicotine are best avoided. In that respect and in. other respects our own New Zealand grown tobaccos hold pride of place, because they contain comparatively little nicotine and may therefore lie indulged in ad. lib., without affecting nerves or heart. Doubtless that is why they are finding favour with so many smokers. They are on sale everywhere, and are adapted to all tastes. “Rivcrhead. Gold” is mild aromatic, “Toasted Navy’ Cut” (Bulldog) a delightful medium, and “Cut Plug No 10” (Bull’s Head label) a fine full-flavoured tobacco.— Advt.
