The way your describing it seems too good to be true. Imagine what the big corporations would do to the plant to make it more addicting and harmful.. I have never smoked tobacco but I can imagine it was much healthier hundreds of years ago when the native americans used to grow it. But now that it is a big industry it is loaded with chemicals. They put freakin' fiberglass in dipping tobacco for god sakes! All im saying is, legalization would be very bittersweet.
