There has been no heavier buying by the public than usual of American and South African tobacco and cigarettes, the importation of which has been stopped under the licensing scheme, according to retail tobacconists in Auckland. They express the view that the public does not appear to have appreciated fully the ramifications of import control as it affects tobacco. With a reduction in addition of about 50 per cent in many instances of imports of English manufactured tobaccos and cigarettes, there will inevitably have to be a readjustment of tastes by many smokers. Not only will many popular brands disappear or their supply be drastically affected, but it may soon be impossible for retailers to supply mixtures of pipe and cigarette tobaccos in which overseas tobaccos are an essential basis.
