IMUERTAL TOBACCO SMOKE. ‘■Whereas the Empire only supplied 74 million out of the 223 million lb. imported into the United Kingdom in 1921, it-supplied 41 million to the 1927 total of 222 million lb. Further, 7 out of the 71 million lb', of Empire tobacco imported in 1921 were drawn lorm Xyasaland. India, and British North Borneo whereas in 1927 although these three Empire countries had raised their contrubution to 24 million lb., the imports from Rhodesia and Canada had grown from negligible quantities to 17. million lb. The evidence we have received from trade sources is to the effect that the trend to cigarette smoking has continued since 1924, and some witnesses considered that pipe tobacco now accounts for only one quarter of the consumption in the United Kingdom. It is, wo think, probable that pipe tobacco does not non form more than 3b per cent of the total tobacco Consumption of the 1 nited Kingdom.”—From the Report of the Imperial Economic Committee.
