It is amazing what the human body can tolerate! I am presently looking at the last package of cigarettes that I will buy. Aside from the nicotene, there is Carbon Monoxide, Formaldehyde, Hydrogen cyanide and Benzene in each cigarette that I have been smoking for all these years! With all this poison that has been going into my body for 46 years, it is a miracle that I am alive to tell about it.
If I remember my history correctly, I believe it was Sir Walter Raleigh who introduced tobacco (and I think potatoes also) to Europe. Was it not also Sir Walter Raleigh who laid down his coat for Queen Elizabeth to walk on so that she did not have to walk in mud......
How interesting that the man who is so famous for this wonderful act of chivalry is also the man who is (indirectly) responsible for the deaths of so many people who have become addicted to tobacco.
