CTRI ( central tobacco research institute ) in andra pradesh has researched tobacco seed oil to be used as biofuel, if this is implemented all the tobacco grown can be used as biofuels instead of cigarette making. cigarette can also be banned manufactring. the tobacco oil does not contain nicotin. tobacco which is a commercial crop grown by farmers was sold for cigarette making but now it can be converted into oil as well. hope this will soon come into implementation and there shold not be any cigarette manfactures .. this protects active and passive smokers

I used Tobacco seed oil for manufacture of soap. The oil ester is good biofuel. But tobacco is not always bad. It is good medicine according to Ayurveda. Tobacco honey is also good except that it gives bad odor. Tobacco may be grown as medicine but not as addiction.
