I’ve seen no study to suggest this; I have heard from the same people that horse paste will kill you (it does not); and safrole was used as a medicine by everyone in early America but “that caused cancer” in mice that they gave insane doses to (was also the basis for root beer- as it’s made from sassafras root), cocoa leaves are banned as well, but Brazilians still make tea from the leaves.
I don’t even think tobacco leaves are terrible, it’s the crap they put in modern tobacco.
