Abstract:
Most of what the average American knows about tobacco comes either from cigarette company advertising or from the Federal Government. But among the small, rural tobacco farmers in North Carolina, and among other North Carolina folk in general, there is tobacco lore which has persisted since settlers were introduced to the herb by the Native Americans. The most obvious example is in the area of herbal remedies--tobacco medicine. This article presents a brief summary of the history of tobacco as an herbal medicine, the contemporary uses of tobacco as a folk cure, and comments on the nature of current tobacco medicine in eastern North Carolina.
