And that being said, i enjoy the act of smoking and have no desire to quit.
Although completely disgusted with Tobacco companies for manufacturing cigarettes with the addition of over 600 plus chemical additives (mostly carcinogenic compounds/ toxins that would otherwise cost industry to be safely disposed of - similar to the scam of adding the industrial refining waste product of sodium fluoride to water systems rather than pay the cost of disposal its sold as a water treatment/ additive).
A side note : I've looked for years but have yet to find any actual studies of the long term health effects of 'natural tobacco', ie tobacco without all the added 'chemical enhancers, flavors, curers, preservatives, shelf life extenders, additives to help the nicotine delivery system burn , additives to keep the nicotine delivery system from burning to quickly etc etc ad nauseum infinity ' ...
I've heard a lot of talk about this over the years. It seems like fairly straightforward logic. Smoking the absurdly less processed form of the plant ought to be better than those Frankensticks from Phillip-Morris. At the end of the day, inhaling smoke is going to damage your lungs when done regularly. Unfortunately, it's the particular way those processed cigarettes 'hit' that I've come to enjoy.
If I wind up quitting, it will just be from smoking altogether. I've never been a cannabis guy, and I cannot stand e-cigs/vaping, so if it's anything, it will be back to good old mildly polluted American air and probably putting on 15 lbs. from snacking on beef jerky or something.
Grow your own. The curing process is an art though. However, I have bought superior tobacco from home-growing enthusiasts compared to anything of reasonable cost at the shops, and it is dirt cheap.
I am studying to do this myself as I also believe organic tobacco has almost zero negative side-effects.
I already have an organic farm, but the gov won't allow me to produce tobacco for sale without a stupidly complex and expensive licensing process. Bloody faggots.
I believe the gov wants it impossible to produce/maintain because it facilities the sharpening of one's mind, helps people focus. It's against all their efforts to dumb-down the population.

It also appears to boost T levels.
Interesting, I smoke and have awkwardly high t levels, though it does stop me from eating enough for "gains", but for my size I am freakishly strong.
There is a reason superpower armies have included tobacco in their rations since it was discovered.
Yeah ok, i concur. I tried growing a tobacco plant when i was much younger and didn't take care of it, so naturally it died from lack of water. However i should really get my ass back into it , esp considering the great amount of kits and online help info etc available these days ...
Yeah bro, do it. Its not difficult or expensive, you have to have proper PH, fertility and watering/drainage, then it grows like a weed. You really don't need many plants for personal use either, about 15 medium sized ones will cover heavy smokers for a year+. The seeds are hugely variable, some are for flavor while some are for high nicotine concentrations. One called "Aztec" is almost poisionously high in nicotine, but tastes harsh af. "Burley" is a nice and mild one to mix with, and of course the "Virginian" varieties are famous.
