If all the tobbaco crops in the world were replaced with grain (or some other food) then you could feed all the starving people in africa for about half a year.

P.S. Can't really remember it accurately, but there's something for you to think about
And what AFTER that half year ? A lot of people would be angry, cause they can't smoke anymore, and the Africans will be back where they left off.

Your comment doesn't hold any water. What they REALLY need to do, is replace the governments of those countries, with leaders who CARE for their people, and don't keep everything to themselves.

But no... blame it on the smokers, they're the ones responsible for the hunger in Africa. They're all criminals i tell ya.
[/QUOTE]I wasn't taking sides I was just stating an interesting fact. Anyway I think it was one and a half years you could feed them for.
