all the studies done to show a link between tobacco and disease/cancer are fraudulent. not a SINGLE study has been conducted on pure tobacco leaf. Rather, ALL studies linking tobacco to disease were conducted with chemically adulterated, cellulose-pulp derived from the stems of tobacco (stems are known to accumulate toxins, and are terrible to smoke), sprayed with chemical additives and dried into sheets, and cut into ribbons - designed to LOOK like tobacco. Depending on the company, this makes up to 90% of the inside of a cigarette, and most brands only contain between 5-20% pure tobacco leaf (except for a few select brands). tobacco repels evil spirits and demons, so that's why (((they))) hate it and must chemically adulterate and poison it. here's the real crap that causes cancer in cigarettes, and companies are permitted to use any of these (many of which are known to cause cancer): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_additives_in_cigarettes

btw tobacco can be grown in all 50 states, so that's a myth too. smoke up and grow your own. pure tobacco leaf is as harmless as weed.
