Nah, Id say that processed tobacco is more harmful due to the chemicals and procedures used during production.
As for growing it yourself, I just couldnt see it being worth your while.

i'm pretty sure BlueBAXR8 is right, 'home grown' tabacco doesn't go through any of the processes that normal tabacco, its just comes straight from wherever it comes from to your house. So I guess if you want the 'healthier' option the home grown one is the way to go.

It's only unhealthier for you if you get caught with it.

It's illegal to grow and distribute it because the Government can't get their hands on it for tax purposes!

Other than that, knock yourself out!

It may not have the chemicals but if the home grown gets to wet and mouldy it can be very dangerous to smoke

My wifes family were Tobacco Farmers, before the industry went bad. Now, it is illegal to have seeds, much less grow. The fines are enormous, especially if caught with an amount ( Several Tonnes). A few years 'Chop Chop' was very common in NQ. Not so much any more!

PS, It cant hurt you, much better than processed. It is a natural product without the addittives to make it burn, without the addictive siht. We used to make some really nice cigars, with the leaf soaked in Brandy or Congac or whatever, then dried. The smell.

Oh, BTW I don't smoke, but one of the most pleasent smells I will ever remember was in the storage sheds after they were used for keeping tobacco safe for thirty odd years. Beautiful!
