What Are the Benefits of Tobacco?

When we think of tobacco, the first things that come to mind are cigarettes, second-hand smoke, lung cancer and early death.

Lung cancer and an early demise are certainly not positives. But are there benefits of tobacco? Does the tobacco plant have any beneficial properties?

The benefits of tobacco are evident to farmers who use their land for growing the cash crop. These farmers reap the benefits of tobacco by selling the crop to manufacturers of pesticides, cigarettes and other tobacco-related products. Farm families also enjoy the benefits of tobacco. Often the earnings from the sales of the tobacco grown on their farmlands are their only source of income.

The United States economy experiences the benefits of tobacco via the billions of tax dollars generated each year through the production and sale of tobacco.

Tobacco naturally produces a neurotoxin named alkaloid nicotine. When this neurotoxin combines with other ingredients used in pesticides, it proves effective in the eradication and control of pests.

Scientists have discovered another benefit of tobacco. A byproduct of cigarette smoke is carbon dioxide, which is lethal in high doses. Scientists have discovered that low doses of carbon-dioxide in the bloodstream prevents blood from "clotting." Blood clots in the bloodstream are the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes.
