Funny thing, human nature 1 As a rule the chap that doesn’t drink insists that nobody else should drink ; the non-theatre-goer disapproves of anyone else going to the theatre; the party that doesn’t read novels or play cards objects to anyone else reading novels or playing cards ; while the man that hates tobacco indignantly demands that everyone else should hate tobacco. And yet these “bad habits” persist! As for smoking, it’s the only pleasure that multitudes of people have. A very harmless pleasure, surely ! When smoking proves injurious it’s because there’s too much nicotine in the tobacco. Most foreign brands are full of it. Then why smoke them ? Our New Zealand tobaccos (produced by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry) are practically free from the poison. Unlike all other tobaccos, these brands are all toasted. Hence their freedom from nicotine and their delicious flavour and fragrance. Favourite brands : Riverhead Gold (mild), Cavendish (the sportsman’s smoke), Navy Cut No 3 (medium), and Cut Plug No. 10 (rich, dark, and full-flav-oured).*
