Don't you guys know TOBACCO IS POISON??
There are over 200 different toxins in tobacco smoke. No wonder you feel sick!
Yeah, that's a joke. I call BS on all of it. Sure it'll kill you if you do it too much I guess, but so will eating the kinds of foods that 95% of people eat.
Toxic? If tobacco was so toxic, poison, etc., then how the hell could anyone smoke a pack of cigs and not keel over dead? How can someone smoke 2 packs a day for 20 years and still be living, talking and walking?
And the BS about secondhand smoke being even MORE toxic. Uh, most smokers also breathe in secondhand smoke in addition to "firsthand smoke," so again, how could it be that "toxic?"
Give me a break.
As to the topic here, sure, a big nic blast can make you want to sit down a while, but same goes for caffeine & alcohol.
Also, I know for damn sure that raw tobacco is LOADED with nicotine, and live tobacco leaves are too. But sphinx moth caterpillars (aka tobacco hornworms) and tobacco budworms eat the living dog poop out of tobacco leaves as I found out to my horror last year. Not so poisonous it seems! It was a battle for months to keep the little bastards off my plants.
