Despite popular perception, organic tobacco is not nicotine-free or inherently safer than conventional tobacco products. Because nicotine is a natural chemical compound produced by the tobacco plant itself, all varieties of tobacco—organic included—contain this highly addictive substance. Understanding this fundamental biological fact is crucial for anyone who assumes that an 'organic' label implies a less harmful product.

According to a study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, processed and high-fat foods like pizza—topped with cheese—are linked to addictive-like eating behaviors. The compelling desire for another slice is often attributed to specific compounds in cheese, primarily the milk protein casein, which breaks down into mildly addictive substances.
