Unfortuately yes and it is to society's detriment that it has become so.
As opposed to the good old days when it was tobacco?
You must not be aware of my disgust and hate tobacco and the industry that pedals it. As far as I am concerned you can shut all the Tobacco factories down and convert the farms that produce it to a more beneficial crop. I am also get sick of these died in the wool North Carolinians who wine about the decline of Tobacco to me. I say thank god. Now those resources can be put to better use.
