Anyone remember the Woody Allen movie “Sleeper?”

Guy is put in suspended animation and wake sup 100 years in the future, when it’s been discovered that the best health foods are alcohol, fatty foods, and cigarettes!

Thee is such a thing as edible tobacco.

And it is one of the highest sources of the B vitamins on the planet!

They knew very well when one of the B vitamins was discovered that it was closely related to nicotine. One of the names is “nicotinic acid”. But they decided at the time that they didn’t want people to make that association and think smoking was good for you, so they gave it the generic name “niacin”.

Burning the tobacco DOES destroy it, so you can’t get your B vitamins by smoking...
