      I am sure they think that it is the tobacco that is a insecticide and not the nicotine that was added to said tobacco…

        They don’t add nicotine to tobacco, tobacco plants produce nicotine. That’s why people have smoked it for 100s of years.

        I hadn’t heard of this, but as far as insecticides go, this sounds about as benign as possible.

      No, it’s an actual thing. My parents also soak tobacco in water and then use it in their garden. But I don’t know if it actually does anything or not because I’m also too lazy to look it up
