The Market between Buyers and Sellers of Tobacco Crops

I think it warrants a section that details how the buying and selling of tobacco crops has changed over the years. Previously tobacco was bought and sold in an open air auction/market between farmers and big companies. That has shifted to where big companies contract out tobacco production with farmers directly and this has caused the open market auction of tobacco to collapse. 15:02, 13 August 2010 Albyva (talk | contribs)

Spanish Monopoly prior to Rolfe

If tobacco was used all over the pre-columbian Americas why would Spain have a monopoly. Neither this page nor the History of tobacco page speak to this.

I came here to learn about the health effects of tobacco consumption. Why isn't there a section on that? nhinchey (talk) 03:08, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Mythology section is bizarre

I’m not even sure how to describe it… it’s like they just copied and pasted excerpts from a religious text, with zero citations or attributions, and no context. It’s a narrative about demons and enlightenment written in nonstandard English, with what appear to be prayers included? It does not seem like something that belongs in an informational article. 2600:1700:6D80:1B4F:7D0A:573F:B389:A954 (talk) 20:51, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
