I remember my grandfather, who was justifiably proud of his enormous
garden (vegetables and flowers,) had a large Mason jar full of dried,
chopped-up tobacco in the garage. I finally asked what it was for, and
was told it was used as a pesticide.
Maybe that's why, even though I grew up with two parents who smoked, I
never touched cigarettes...
