I saw an episode of Survivorman where he was talking about using smoke to kill foot fungus and mentioned that tobacco smoke was said to be particularly good for it.

The mice are smarter than smokers however so the results may not transfer to humans.

It’s not a normal tobacco plant.

They engineered genes designed to produce monoclonal antibodies and injected these into tobacco plants. They probably could have chosen any plant.

Cigarette butts, boiled and strained make a great bug killer.

Must be true, I have been a smoker for over 50 years and have never had West Nile infection, not even once.

For those who might someday need to know . . . if you’re ever really dangerously whacked out on psychedelics, tobacco will bring you back. Just saying.

I got hit with this last year. Fortunately for me I have an industrial strength immune system, so it only knocked me down solid for 2 days. It came on me over about a 2 hour period. I went from being perfectly fine to being completely immobile in bed. Woulda killed my wife. Chemo just about killed her immunity to anything. gGod thing is, I’m safe from it now. Can’t get it again once you’ve had it from what I understand.

These days, everything known by human beings for centuries is considered bad; everything new is ipso facto excellent.

A society built along such lines cannot last long. Either the old beliefs and undertandings will return, or the society will fall.

Personally, I wouldn’t lay any odds either way.
