"... her friend explained. 'I did the other day and afterwards I just lay on my bed for three hours. It was intense.' Others joined in with their new-age nicotine experiences. Some had drunk tobacco juice in the Amazon jungle, which made them 'purge' (never 'projectile vomit,' please), but was worth it for the 'most incredible clarity.' Others had 'smudged' with it — ie wafted the smoke around in order to 'clear negative energy' — or had 'shamanic snuff' (powdered tobacco) blown up their noses through a special pipe ('so grounding')."
From "WHY TOBACCO IS THE NEW (LEGAL) WELLNESS INGREDIENT/Bathe in it, drink it, waft it around — but whatever you do, don’t smoke it" (London Times).

Marijuana, tobacco, excess carbohydrates, viral therapeutics (e.g. Dante's dice), masks (e.g. oxygen deprivation), scalpels (double-edged, preferably), are just a few of our legal wellness choices in the modern model.
Let me blow some smoke up your ass.
'You could put it in your bath and soak in it...'
That kinda gives a whole new meaning to cigarette butts.
Nah don't do nicotine at all. Sadly, it can aggravate a genetic tendency toward blindness in old age.
Of course most people don't care about their old age, but they will when they get there.
Too bad because it can be a nice buzz.
“shamanic snuff' (powdered tobacco) blown up their noses’”
Wait ‘til they go for “premium service” of demonic snuff blown up their asses.
Ayahuasca is too mainstream...
"She died of nicotine poisoning brought on by remaining too long in the bath...."
News stories we'll see in the future.
Althouse use of the 'stupid' tag pushes me into at least look into it.
What's next- bathing in trans-fat and crude oil?
Whiskey and a rectal cigar was the recipe for surgical anesthesia before the discovery of nitrous oxide as an anesthetic
Tobacco, tobacco
Sing sweetly for tobacco
Tobacco is like love
Oh love it
For you see I will prove it
Love maketh lean the fat man's tumor
So doth tobacco
Love still dries up the wanton humor
So doth tobacco
Love makes men sail from shore to shore
So doth tobacco
Tis fond love often makes men poor
So doth tobacco
Love makes men scorn all coward fears
So doth tobacco
Love often sets men by the ears
So doth tobacco
Tobacco, tobacco
Sing sweetly for tobacco
Tobacco is like love
Oh love it
For you see I have proved it

Still prescribed in San Francisco before a hammer fight...
Cigarettes were issued to soldiers because tobacco improves focus. There is nothing new under the sun.
"Cigarettes were issued to soldiers because tobacco improves focus."
True enough, but it also serves a bit to mask bad smells. I was struck watching some old film from WW I, French soldiers chain-smoking like they their lives depended on it.
I smoked baccy from senior year h.s. to college graduation. I'm forever grateful that my nights of sleeping on the beach on Santa Rosa Island after graduation resulted in my being so sick for a week after that I had lost the nicotine-craving.
Plus, it was getting pricey even in 1976.
"Sadly, it can aggravate a genetic tendency toward blindness in old age."
My parents were both smokers. Neither made it to old age.
I highly recommend nicotine, in a non-lethal form like snus-like pouches or quality vape products. Don’t let the dangers of smoking tobacco scare you off the benefits of this divine substance.
