Did you know that Lord Jel.licoe was a devotee of the “weed - ’ ? He chiefly smokes cigarettes, but confines himself to one packet of ten pel diem. Quite moderate! Yes. Some people smoke thrice that quantity between breakfast and bed. But despite the popularity of the “cig.” millions of smokers prefer the pipe. As to the injuriousness of smoking, it largely depends upon the tobacco. The imported brands, as a rule, are simply loaded with nicotine, so that their habitual use cannot be good. In that respect they differ materially from our New Zealand-grown tobaccos. These are toasted —hence their delightful flavour and fragrance. Also, they are comparatively free from nicotine and do not burn the fongue, wreck the nerves, or affect the heart. There is unquestionably a great future before these tobaccos, and already the growing, curing, and manufacture of the leaf is becoming an important New Zealand industry, and farmers are finding a tobacco crop a profitable one to cultivate. Brands chiefly in demand are Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut i(Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10, full* Fri THfiuenra Colas tase Woods’ ->reat Peppermint Cure.
