For some reason I had it in mind that growing tobacco was illegal in the UK, so your post prompted me to check and lo! Apparently it's entirely legal, for personal use.

So now I have a new project - I've always wanted to smoke 'pure' tobacco, like the ancients.

I'm twenty years too old to have an illegal harvest at home :)

Next stop, need to check how to cure the leaves.

Thanks!
