Growing your own tobacco would be better than cigarettes, as you could make other tobacco products as well. The biggest thing to know about tobacco is that the seeds must have sunlight to germinate, so broadcast them on top of the ground in a small plot. Then when the plants are few inches tall, transplant them to the field. Don't forget to sucker them.

There are websites and videos explaining all this. I grew up surrounded by farmland. The worst summer ever was when they planted corn in all the fields. The wind didn't blow at our house the whole time, and I had to go out to the road to watch for the school bus.
