We now know that it's the hundreds of chemicals, additives and addictives (thousands of which are present in cigarette smoke) that make tobacco a deadly plant. The tobacco industry and the economic stakes generated by its sale present it to us as a highly carcinogenic plant, and with good reason, but it's important to differentiate between Tobacco, a medicinal and sacred plant, and what is sold to us under the label "smoking kills". Often called the "master plant" by many tribes, it has always been used by gastrointestinal or respiratory route - in juice, chewed or smoked - for its many uses. In particular, it is highly prized for treating migraines. In homeopathy, a very low dose of Nicotiana tabacum is also prescribed for migraines, nausea, vomiting and circulation problems. Tobacco is apparently still used to combat parasites. Historically, it was used to relieve asthma, coughs, rheumatism, gout, pain and neuralgia, epilepsy and to make purgative enemas. In 1614, physician William Barkley wrote: "Used in moderation, there is no medicine comparable to tobacco. Native Americans and many Latin American tribes use tobacco ceremonially to communicate with the spirits (through smoke), to thank the Creator, to pray for good harvests and fish catches, to make peace with the enemy (peace pipe) or for rites of passage.

This ancient variety has its origins in the early days of tobacco growing in St. James Parish. In the late 1700s, a man by the name of Pierre Chenet proposed to his fellow Arcadians how to grow tobacco successfully. Not only did he show them how to grow tobacco successfully, he also showed them how to prepare the tobacco, through a process of presure-fermentation, and how to roll it into fine rolls called "carrots". In honor of his efforts and commitment, this variety of Tobacco and its method of preparation were named "Perique".
