Wait till you start growing your own 'baccy'! A beautiful plant: It smells nice, has pretty pink trumpet flowers and it grows very fast, once it is a seedling. The leaves have healling properties. So we grow it next to the front and back doors for first aid. Tobacco leaves stop bleeding, infection, inflammation and pain.

Funny aside: I saw this done when I was a child: My parents were the adventurous type who would hire guides for tours through Malayan jungle. LOL. Anyway the guides carried cigarettes over their ears. I thought they were carefully storing their smoke for later. Everyone smokes over there. But no. My mother suddenly started slapping her pants legs and complaining about the itch. When the pants legs were rolled up, leaches had jumped on her legs and were already an inch long gorging on her blood. Out came the cigarettes: The guides chewed a piece and applied the wet tobacco to the leaches that curled up and fell off. The bleeding afterwards was stopped the same way.

BTW I have done the first aid burn and cut tobacco treatment multiple times: one of those burns was on a child who had a boiled water accident, her burn was the size of an adult hand, that lost the skin while sitting in a cold bath, so it was open. Now, there is no scarring.
