"Is there such a thing as nicotineless tobacco — tobaeco with no nicotine in it?" aslced a customer of a Wellington tobaeconist the othcr clay. "No," said the tobacconist, "there is not. But there is much less nicotine in some brands than others." "And is there no way of extracting " the stuff?" enquired the customer, adding, "poisonous, isn't it?" "It's deadly," replred the tobacconist, and continued: "The only way, I believe, is to roast the tobacco, same as the manu1 facturers of the New Zealand brands are doing. They have installed an elaborate plant in their factory, I'm told for the purpose." "And does the roasting really get rid of the nicotine?" queried the customer. "Most of it. Sufficient to make it safe for the smoker to indulge to any extent. Greatly improves the flavour and bouquet, too. It's a wonderful process." Replying to a further question the tobacconist said: "There are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3." The customer is "trying thom out." /CHILDREN will get their feet wct but NAZOL on sugar will prcvent cold or chills.
