At a Rotary luncheon in South Canterbury the other day the talk drifted round to smoking, and an ancient mariner remarked, “ I’d be lost without my pipe! When some months ago I consulted my doctor for throat trouble he hinted I might have to give up smoking altogether. I was flabbergasted! Seeing me upset he asked what brand of tobacco I usually smoked. ‘ Cut it out! ’he roared when I told him, ‘ like so many brands today it’s foul with nicotine! ’ Then he calmed down. ‘ You’ll have to go slow for a bit,’ he said, * but smoking in moderation—till you’re better —won’t hurt you, so long as it’s toasted—the genuine toasted I mean, mind. I smoke it myself. There’s next to no nicotine in it.’ Well, I did as I was told and was soon O.K. again. But I still stick to toasted. You can’t beat it! ” Smokers everywhere will say, “ Hear! hear! ” But, as the doctor said, it must be genuine toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold.
