Despite this, state politicians and tobacco spokesmen have responded with little protest.

The admiration of this herb, as noted by the local Indians who consumed it, was defined by its believed ability to cure more than two hundred diseases. The irony was not lost on the author: products made from this “excellent herbe” are more likely to cause death than preserve life.
