Thanks for the reply gagarin, and I appreciate your additions to the article. I understand that for most people reading this page, tobacco = cigarettes. That’s really unfortunate. Tobacco is a very powerful plant ally and teacher, that has many uses, among many indigenous cultures around the world.

you are right, thus we corrected and added some information to article.

also keep in mind that our readers are 99% westerners and for them tobacco = cigarettes.

Maybe the name “No tobacco day” was not chosen correctly, we think that you can find a good use of every element of life, including tobacco, but here we try to bring attention to addiction that is incredible developed and present around us!

No tobacco day alienates and shuns people’s who’s cultures have had a spiritual and healing relationship with tobacco for thousands of years. Just imagine trying to promote No Tobacco day to tribes in the Amazon, that use tobacco juice regularly as an anti-fungal and anti-parasitic medicine.
