Anti- tobaccoites are wont to say hard things about smoking, but quite often they are untrue. Tobacco may have its faults, but its virtues should not be overlooked. Smoking aids digestion ; it is also a great preservative of the teeth and a destroyer of the harmful germs which infest all people’s mouths, while its soothing and tranquilising effects in times of mental stress, worry or exertion are well known to smokers. But the quality should be good. Brands full of nicotine (like many of the imported) are best avoided. Our N.Z. grown toasted tobaccos, manufactured by the National Tobacco Co. Ltd (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry) contain very little nicotine and are quite harmless. And owing to the toasting of the leaf (the only brands so treated) they are remarkable for flavour and fragrance. Popular sorts : Riverhead Gold, aromatic ; Navy Cut, medium; Cavendish, medium; and Cut Plug No. 10, full strength. The demand for these goods is growing so rapidly that the genuine New Zealand tobacco industry is becoming of the first importance.
