Is there such a thing as nlcotineless tobacco — tobacco with no nicptine in if" asked a customer of a Wellington tobaccomst the other day. "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," replied the tobacconist, ahd continued: "The only way, I believe, is to roast the tobacco, same as the manufacturers of the New Zealand brands are doing. They have installed an elaborate plant in their fdetory, pm told for the purpose." "And does the roasting really get rid of the nicotine?" queried the customer. "Most of it. Sufflcient to make it safe for the smoker to indulge to any extent. Greatly improves the flavour and bouquet, too. It's a wonderful process." Beplying to a further question the tohacconisf said: "There' are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gola, Cut Plug No. 10, Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3." The customer is "trying them out." - >
