Facts+and+Research

Tobacco comes from a certain plant that contains Nicotine. Nicotine is very dangerous and is classified as a drug. Tobacco is originally a tropical crop but it can grow in almost any environment. It is most commonly used for smoking and such. Tobacco can be used in many forms like cigarettes and pipes. Most people confuse themselves, thinking that maybe pipe form of smoking is safe but the cigarette is not. That is not true because none of the forms are safe as they all contain dangerous chemicals which are enough dangerous to cause an early death.



Tobacco started to be used in the US and America a long time ago. Now it can basically be found anywhere in places where the land form is dry. They grow in large fields. Tobacco can grow in different places like at your home but smokers say that it does not compare to field grown tobacco. Even though Tobacco is so dangerous, it is legal in all countries except Bhutan. The world Health Organization explained that tobacco is the second biggest cause of death in the world. According to them the biggest cause of death is hunger and the third is Malaria. Nicotine mostly effects a persons blood stream and causes lung cancer.



For the tobacco to be successful, it needs lots of humidity. So if you want to grow tobacco you will need a professional tool for watering. The first step is to get tobacco seeds and than you plant the seeds. The tobacco seeds require about 21 degrees warmth to grow up successfully. If the temperature is any higher, the seeds will germinate too rapidly. Lower temperatures increase the growth time. That also affects the quality of the tobacco. Tobacco is originally picked up when the leaves ripen. Averagely, tobacco is picked up six times from one growth.

I think it is horrible how tobacco companies secretly add extra nicotine into cigarettes knowing how dangerous it is. I mean, nicotine is in my opinion the worst ingredient in tobacco because nicotine is the thing that makes people smoke. Nicotine is the ingredient that makes people continue buying tobacco which makes the companies make money. I wouldnt been able to live with myself if I was a tobacco companies owner and I would add extra nicotine to tobacco knowing how many deaths I might be responsible for.
