Tobacco | Botany After Dark, Epi 6
Episode Notes
I have wanted to cover tobacco for a while but in light of recent regulations surrounding vaping and general accessibility to tobacco products, it seemed apt to do so now. Today, we discuss the storied history of this plant that has been connected to so much pain and death and analyze humanity's role in tobacco's new associations.
