Dalhousie id al210411: A herb for identification…
Location Bathri Chamba
Altitude 1400 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild/roadside
Height 30 inches
 


Nicotiana tabacum one of our beloved plant 


– Interesting…!! This plant was growing along the highway from Pathankot to Chamba… guess the locals must have let it spread… but there is local tobacco used here which I guess could be from this…


– made me laugh when I read that … thinks its a beloved plant… yes beloved of tobacco giants,  bidiwallas, and tamaku chewers, and the family that got rich by mixing selling  ppara (please don’t say it, its a brand name)  … and the share holders who got rich on tobacco equities over the last three hundred years in five continents….
…. but not beloved of those of us who deal with misery of LUNG CANCER, MOUTH and Larynx and Pharynx CANCERs, TONGUE CANCER, URINARY BLADDER CANCER and childhood ASTHMA… to name  a few….

Although I must say the pink flowers are indeed attractive….


– … Now our whole Delhi University campus is a no tobacco cum zero tolerance zone, but there was a time when tobacco smoking was very prevalent, still our College was a no tobacco zone, and few teachers who could not resist for long, would come out our College area for some time to satisfy their need. Luckily now more and more people (especially the educated class) have known the hazards of tobacco smoking, and most don’t use it now. Luckily our youngsters have realised this much faster.


– Yes, the flowers are beautiful and water boiled with tobaco leaves, is used to get rid of greenfly.


– nice to know…. sometimes aphids are a  big menace …. don’t like to crush them as some books suggest, may be spraying with soapy water works, but if tobacco water can get them to scurry away that would be nice… may be they ‘ll go elsewhere away from my small balcony forest… I’ll definitely try this …


– You see friends.. it is not the plant itself which is good or bad.. it is our use of it… 🙂
    an extract from PFAF.org

A protein can be extracted from the leaves. It is an odourless, tasteless white powder and can be added to cereal grains, vegetables, soft drinks and other foods. It can be whipped like egg whites, liquefied or gelled and can take on the flavour and texture of a variety of foods. It is 99.5% protein, contains no salt, fat or cholesterol. It is currently (1991) being tested as a low calorie substitute for mayonnaise and whipped cream.
   
Medicinal Uses
Tobacco has a long history of use by medical herbalists as a relaxant, though since it is a highly additive drug it is seldom employed internally or externally at present. The leaves are antispasmodic, discutient, diuretic, emetic, expectorant, irritant, narcotic, sedative and sialagogue. They are used externally in the treatment of rheumatic swelling, skin diseases and scorpion stings. The plant should be used with great caution, when taken internally it is an addictive narcotic. The active ingredients can also be absorbed through the skin. Wet tobacco leaves can be applied to stings in order to relieve the pain. They are also a certain cure for painful piles. A homeopathic remedy is made from the dried leaves. It is used in the treatment of nausea and travel sickness.
