Honest question and hoping someone has the answer- I've always wondered why the government has waged war on the tobacco industry for so many years. The FDA tries to keep us sick and Lord knows the cabal is openly trying to reduce the population. Smoking like anything else should fall into the "my body my choice" category. Does it have anything to do with the part it played in financing and building the colonies and country? // borrowed 👉🏻 No other agricultural crop has been more thoroughly entwined with the history of the United States than the growing, processing, and manufacturing of tobacco. In addition, no one product has enjoyed deeper ties to the colonization of the New World and to the expansion of international trade between the New World and Europe, Asia, and the Middle East over the last four centuries. The prospect of farming tobacco and selling it to England brought the earliest British colonists to Virginia and Maryland.
