This section of the website is intended for
the historical
and informational purposes of thinking adults. Anyone who
has been raised since the turn of the 20th century already knows that tobacco can be addictive and
lead to various forms of cancer. If
you do not smoke, it would seem illogical to start. We, in no way,
encourage people to use any form of tobacco product.
In his 1954 work, "The Gentle
Art of Smoking", Alfred H. Dunhill was nostalgic for a past when
smoking was an "art" and enjoyed as a pleasurable pastime in
elegant smoking rooms. He remarked
that the "furious tempo of modern life" had resulted in tobacco, in the
form of ubiquitous cigarettes, being used as a narcotic to calm frayed
nerves and becoming a habit and therefore no longer pleasurable. Common
sense dictates that anything you do to your body in excess (a habit) is
detrimental. |

A wild tobacco, also
known as Sacred Tobacco, it originated in Mexico but was widely cultivated throughout North America
by native peoples for ceremonial purposes. According to
J. B. Killebrew,
"Turkish, Hungarian, and Latakia tobacco is probably of this
species."
The plants reach about three feet in height,
are
vigorous and fairly hardy. The abundant yellow blossoms bloom all day
and make it an interesting garden annual.
Cultivated worldwide for smoking and
nicotine production. Potency is high and has been said to have been
used as an arrow poison in Mexico. |
