I grow tobacco here in the garden. I don't let my grandkids touch it because of nicotine absorption.

I doubt they’d be handling it enough to experience anything like what I described, that came from working hours getting dew-soaked, from gray pre-dawn to midmorning trying to beat the heat and get the ripe yellowing bottom leaves pulled and into the barn before the sun burned them up. Carrying two shotguns on the tractor for copperheads and rattlers, and as many frozen milkjugs for ice water as they could stack on the back too, lol. Hard work. But honest. Food never tasted so good, lunch outside after all that. Cold foods, tomato sandwiches, fried chicken that had been allowed to cool, cucumber salad with vinegar, onion and black pepper. Then, onto the shade of the barns to string it all and put it up.
