What’s the difference ’twixt whisky and tobacco ? It has been defined thus : “Whisky make you talk; tobacco make you think.” It’s certainly true that great painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, chess players, and orators arc generally great smokers. Anti-tobaccoites will tell yon that smokers are the slaves of a vicious habit and run all sorts of terrible risks. As a matter of fact, if tobacco is used, and not abused, it won’t hurt anybody, provided it is of good quality ; and, of course, the less nicotine it contains the better. Unfortunately, most of the American tobaccos just reek with nicotine. Ahd that’s where they differ from our New Zealandgrown brands, which are delightfully cool and full of flavour and fragrance. Moreover, they contain so little nicotine that you can go on smoking them “until all is blue,” and ta ( ke no harm. That they are popular with smokers is proved by their very large sale. Ask for Riverhead Gold (mild), Navy Cut (medium), or Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength). The latest addition is Cavendish Mixture.*
