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 per 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 tongue, wteck the nerves, or affect the heart. There is unquestionably a great future before these tobaccos, and already the growing, curing, and manu - facture of the leaf is becoming an im • portant New Zealand industry, and farmers are finding a .tobacco crop t profitable one to cultivate. Brands chiefly in demand are Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug' No. 10, full.*
