“Old Mr. Anderson our neighbor used to grow his own tobacco.”

Old Mr. Anderson was violating federal law. We can’t have citizens growing plants that are a tax boon for the government, now can we?

Actually, the law currently allows for growing your own, as long as you aren't selling it.

Tobacco can be used as an insecticide, and also for deworming livestock. At one time it was even prescribed to people for getting rid of intestinal parasites.
