text: why is it that governments are against cigarett smoking but cant stop farmers from growing tabacco? is there any other big use for tobacco other than smoking, or is the money from it far above the pride of our leaders? it's money. money talks and money is power. people and governments do some strange things for money and power. as far as tabbacco is concerned i see no real benefit from it, in our every day lives. its a nasty and dirty habit that has taken many many lives.
