The steadily increasing popularity of the cigarette among all classes of smokers has been a matter of frequent comment of late years. It has been calculated that during the past ten years the quantity of tobacco imported into New Zealand has risen by about oO per cent., while the increase in the case of cigarettes has been about 250 per cent. And these figures, it must be noted, take no account of the fairly large amount of tobacco made up into cigarettes in the Dominion. The following table shows the importations under each heading at the "four chief ports for the years 1900, 1905, and 1910:—1900, 1,417,2091bs tobacco, 149,1771bs cigarettes; 1905, 1,742,4121bs tobacco, 250,5221bs cigarettes; 1910, 1,954,057 ibs tobacco, 4665,661bs cigarettes.
