Well, looks like it didn't take long for the Library ta get here...Thought we could keep it more 'relaxed' this time.

Dryball (Fearless Leader), ya appear ta be old enough ta make up yer own mind on wither or not you can afford
the excess damage. How it will affect you in the long run,all that crap. If ya want ta be a smoker at 'vous then do it.
They's yer lungs.

Your right hank...and I cant afford the damage. That's why I was looking for a no tobacco substitute. But they ain't all my lungs...I'm married and taking a chance with my health would not be treating my wife right. If it were just me...why...I'd still be racing motorcycles, mountain climbing, backcountry skiing, and other stupid things I used to do. So it looks like it's gonna be shredded jerky or something similar.

I use the shredded jerky when i am hunting... nothing like the smell of tobacco to run off game... I would suggest that...

If research is unwanted let me know and I will not offer any more . Just thought I would save a guy the trouble of poisoning himself when it wasnt nesecery.

Russ,
Research is GOOD , just some times alot isn't necessary ,  sometimes even resented . I for one don't take to someone tellin me how I have to do, act, or whatever .

The opinions that you have are yours . I, or someone else could read the same books, articles, journals whatever, and form different opinions. That's why there is a thing called discussion. Kind of a compression of dis (dissagree) and cuss-ion (cussin), so we can do both in a friendly manner .

This is a 'laid back' group and sometimes the heavy thud of several volumes of 'Hysterical Fact' scares the bejezzus outta some of the group.
Tread lightly, make more friends thata way

To All, as a smoker myself, I do not advocate the use of tobacco products in any way. I know how difficult it is to quit and understand the problems it can cause. This is why I recommended shredded jerky as an alternative. I use this often when hunting or shooting, it helps hold off the cravings (I prefer buffalo jerky). On the other side of the coin though, I have been known to make my own smoke for around camp. I use red Washington apple peels dried, Sage, Sweetgrass, Ginger Root and American Gensing. I chop it to about a fine pipe tobacco, mix thoroughly and soak it in Hennessy Cognac for about a month. I then run it through a dehydrator to remove most of the moisture, it should stay lit and smouldering on it's own but not flame when smoked. It is pleasantly aromatic and has a wonderful side effect when smoked in mixed company. Pack it tight in a clay pipe and enjoy.

I thought I would pass on some info. I dont see the need to poison yourself if you are not already.
If you are looking for a form of tobacco to use try nasal snuff. It comes in several flavors. The snuff I prefer is Willsons of Sharrow. It is English and has been in production since the mid 18th century.

I for one appreciate the historical facts. Hard to do all that searching sometimes

[mouse]

     Good one, Heather!!!

Glad to help

I know that some people dont have the time or resouces to do research for themselves.
Just an FYI
Google books is a great resource. Do an advanced search. enter a key word and a date range and you can find all kinds of great stuff
