Tobacco: The Cure to all Disease


Wanna stop anthrax?
Bubonic plague?
Type 1 diabetes?
Hepatitus C?
Cholera?

Its simple really. All you have to do is genetically engineer tobacco plants to carry a vaccine. Once acre of that special wacky tobaccy would have enough anthrax vaccine to innoculate the entire US. Plus, its actually safer than the current method. Mice innoculated with the vaccine withstood an anthrax attack 15 times greater than what would be expected during a terrorist attack.

Other diseases could also benefit from extremely cheap preventions through the use of genetically engineered tobacco.

There is also no risk of the genetically engineered tobacco getting into the food supply, since no one eats tobacco... although I wonder what smoking a cholera vaccine would taste like...

The one fear I have, is that a bunch of genetically engineered tobacco seeds will get mixed with tomato seeds and produce the highly addictive tomacco. It would rival opium poppy for worldwide drug cartels.

Say no to tomacco kids. Its not the cool thing to do.

The tomacco episode was one of the best ones.

Scary thing is, the first guy to graft a tomato plant to a tobacco root did it a long time ago.

Probably one of those early attempts at making food addictive.
