Tobacco

Tobacco is an agricultural product processed from the fresh leaves of plants in the genus Nicotiana. Its most common usage is for smoking (tobacco smoking) in the form of a cigarette or cigar. Even in the 26th Century, Tobacco is still an important commercial commodity, used in cigars, cigarettes, and the fillings of pipes. Tobacco is commercially available almost everywhere in dried, cured, and natural forms. Harvest is a producer of tobacco. It also produces other crops with the help of Jotun Heavy Industries. They supply the machines that are crucial to the harvesting of the planet.

Although not native to Earth, Hookah Tobacco is used by San 'Shyuum as a stimulant.
