Nicotine? Not at all. That is tobacco tar
the dark brown, semi-solid, intensely irritant product of burning leaf. You see what it does to your fingers – think what it does to your throat! That's what causes the coughing and catarrh, the burning, the dried-up feeling. .. The filter tip of a du Maurier traps tobacco tar. Nicotine suave enchantment lives in the cool, full-flavoured smoke of a du Maurier cigarette. Smoke that is smoother for being unspoilt better for being clean.
