GAVIINNNN
tobacco itself is not harmful in my opinion, it's all the shit they spray on it that causes issue. Tobacco leaves are big, hairy and sticky and do a fine job trapping foliar pesticides/fungicides. These chemicals get into the plant tissue as well.
You could smoke every day and be generally fine with a healthy diet as long as your tobacco is not sprayed with poisons beforehand.
Beneficial microbes and beneficial fungus exist everywhere and can be grown and applied (bugs in a jug) to combat virtually every pathogenic issue that a grower comes across, but big chem drives ag via politicians/gov safety agencies.
Hope we are coming up on a brave new era. Ag's generally in trouble because of the 'strip mining' mindset and GMOS are going downhill. GMOS were never meant for the long haul, they were installed as a means of control.
that sounds lovely. Tobacco is easy to grow although the seeds are tiny. Once you grow a few plants you can let one go to seed and have thousands of seeds.
It is a big hardy plant that grows fine even in the Midwest. many different kinds with beautiful flowers.
God gave us all these great plants to use for food and medicine.
