The Health Benefits of Tobacco and Cutting Through the Anti-Smoking Propaganda​

...it all becomes clear when learning about the truth and the actual benefits of tobacco. For one, smoking tobacco helps to think clearer, increases memory, supports cognitive functions and essentially critical thinking….and the government is certainly not interested in that. Ironically it also protects the lung from pathogens and makes the body more resilient to disease, viruses, epidemics, and plagues. In fact, those employed in the collection of bodies during the Great Plague in 1666 (killing about 100,000 within a year) frequently smoked tobacco to avoid catching the plague. It was known and common knowledge that smoking tobacco served as protection from the plague. Smoking pure tobacco may actually also DECREASE the risk of lung cancer (see articles/resources at the end of the article).

The medical community is where the phrase blowing smoke up one's arse comes from. They used to do that thinking it helped drowning victims.

The Tobacco Story - North Carolina Dept. of Agriculture (1977):

Tobacco is first mentioned in American History in the second voyage of Columbus to the New World in 1515. As Columbus approached shore he saw the natives smoking a long stick with a hollow end; he asked the natives what they were smoking. The reply was, 'tobago', meaning "the pipe". Since then the leaves smoked in the pipe have been referred to as ' 'tobaco' ' , or today, tobacco.

On Columbus' return to Spain he carried some of the seed of the tobacco plant with him, and introduced the cultivation of tobacco to Europe.
It was believed that tobacco had medicinal value and its first use in Europe was as medicine, rather than for smoking. A famous doctor of that time said of tobacco, ''as an ointment it has great healing powers".

The use of tobacco for smoking in Europe is credited to Jean Nicot, a Frenchman, who started its cultivation in the year 1561. John Rolfe is given credit for being the first farmer to raise tobacco commercially in the New World. He lived on the James River in Virginia. It was soon discovered that tobacco raised in America was superior in aroma and flavor to any other, and this has accounted for the great strides that have been made in the industry in the South.

During the first half of the nineteenth century tobacco was air-cured by hanging it in loosely built barns to allow the passage of air while curing. Later, fire-curing became almost universal in the tobacco growing areas of North Carolina. This was short-lived, and many growers returned to air-curing.

The flue-curing of tobacco was started accidently while an old slave was curing tobacco in the old manner by maintaining a wood fire on the ground in the barn. He fell asleep and the fire burned down to a few coals. The wood was too wet to catch readily, so the slave ran to a charcoal pit at the nearby blacksmith shop, got a sack of charcoal and put it on the fire. It caught readily and he continued to use it. He and his owner noticed that the tobacco was curing up a bright yellow. This curing process made the tobacco milder and produced a better smoke. From this beginning in Caswell County, North Carolina in 1856, the present flue-curing and production methods have developed.

The manufacturing of tobacco products began to expand with the discovery of the flue-curing method. Chewing tobacco was the first product to be manufactured in a few small factories around 1850. Later a few factories manufactured granulated tobacco for "roll your own" cigarettes and pipes. However, the first real expansion of the industry was in 1884 with the invention of the cigarette making machine.

Also, could one make a tincture/extract with a good tobacco?? Haven't found much online about it...

Smoking clean tobacco has health benefits, but this article doesnt reveal any, instead some empty writing and ''spiritual'' bullcrp like muh energies and interdimensional entity attacks prevented by tobacco jfl. Its not Christian and cant covince anybody with this.

Tobacco contain quinones which are found in some other herbs and are anti cancer. Also if some scary virus exist for real, smokers don't have it badly.

One thing folks need to consider about the organic label is that may just pertain to growing the crop. After it's harvested it has to sit in huge warehouses for years to cure, and they fumigate those warehouses regularly to kill off tobacco beetles. I suspect organically grown stuff gets the same treatment. I can't imagine otherwise because tobacco beetles will absolutely destroy unprotected tobacco.

Yeah probably can't get a 100% pure perfect product in the current time we're living no matter how you try. But the same can be said about food end everything else. We still have to live in the world. We still have to navigate through the chaos and sometimes smoking a little tobacco is just the right thing to do to get us forward. Additive free tobacco is still a lot better tasting with less negative effects than the conventional stuff, and organic is even better. I don't smoke all the time and when I do not that much but still, I've experimented with this quite a bit over the years.

I think the benefits of tobacco concerning mental clarity, memory, emotional stability and digestion to name a few make it an herb worth using, with wisdom. My view is that the Most High gave us all plants with some specific purpose for each.

In regards to entities If tobacco helps with estrogen then this makes sense. I could easily see how someone could describe estrogen as an entity lol
Imo that's often what is being described by people who dont have scientific terms like the ones we use for things like T and progesterone and stress hormones.
When I was very stressed and prob v high estrogen/cortisol I could consider that plagued by the entities just ask muh saint of a hubby lol

Aromatase inhibitors in cigarette smoke, tobacco leaves and other plants
A chance observation that cigarette smoke interferes with the aromatase assay led us to investigate tobacco leaf and smoke extracts for the presence of aromatase inhibitors. The highest inhibitory activity was found in the basic fraction of cigarette smoke.
Further purification of this fraction led to the identification of N-n-octanoylnornicotine. Synthesis and testing of a series of acylated nornicotines and anabasines for their ability to inhibit aromatase showed an interesting correlation of activity with the length of the acyl carbon chain, with maximum activity at C-11.
These in vivo studies suggest that tobacco alkaloid derivatives exert their effects by suppression of the aromatase enzyme system.

Many of the plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) have leaves that are aromatase inhibitors: Natural Products as Aromatase Inhibitors.

Tobacco tea

Androgenic Benefits Of Tobacco

Tobacco made into tea makes the onset and duration of the buzz slower and longer. Gotta be careful with dosage. Slow onset means drinking too much too quickly because of underestimating the effects before they reach the peak could become dangerous. Fatal nicotine overdoses during tobacco tea...
