I don’t know why this got recommended to me 8 years after it was released but I’m so happy I got to see this. So badass.

She literally opted to not take part in their system anymore. She couldn't be more badass if she was in Boston harbor dumping tea off ships.

I grow tobacco and I live in cold rural Washington state. It's the easiest plant I've ever grown from seed. I'm surprised it's so rare for smokers to grow it.

I quit cigarettes 11 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Apart from the occasional cigar, tobacco is really not a part of my life anymore. That being said, I'm all for people doing what they enjoy, especially when they make it a craft and stick it to the system while doing it. Kudos to Audrey!

Australia needs to do this. It's like 20 bucks a pack there. Tobacco control isn't about health, it's about taxation. They tax the hell out of anything addictive

This woman is a true American hero!

Why did KZfaq randomly recommend this to me. Lol. Hope this badass is still sticking it to the man.

You might live in New York, but you have a southern attitude. And I can't tell you how much I love knowing they can speak their mind. an amen and a hell yeah to you.

I used to be a smoker but quit so I can watch my kids grow up and play with them. I personally dislike tobacco and the harm it can do, but more importantly, as an American, I support people's right to choose for themselves. Any law that takes freedom away from people is tyranny and I can't abide. I don't recommend smoking, but grow that shit, woman! Lol

This is bad ass! People stepping up and fighting back.

Of course her tobacco doesn't have strange additives like ammonia or asbestos.

good on you! that is the American Spirit of independance right there. Grow Your Own!

I grow my tobacco in tent with leds

WE NEED THIS WOMAN EVERYWHERE!

Thats great. Organic Tobacco. She doesn't have to worry about it being sprayed with countless amounts of chemicals and she knows exactly what it is and how it was grown.

I'm from Yorkshire England .I've got some golden Virginia planted in trays. It grows well over here.

ive really been looking into growing my own, and now that ive seen how easy it is, i will.

props to you! for standing up for self and doing what you think is best, and right for you.

Good to see Joey Belladonna has found a knack for gardening

Here in southern Ohio/northern Kentucky, been doing this for 20 years with my two friends. Got guidance from some retired tobacco graders that worked for United States Tobacco ( UST). Best cigarettes in town. Maybe in the region. Working on a Nat Sherman blend.

I'm growing tobacco for the first time this year. They're thriving here in CO. This was very informative. Can't wait to harvest and enjoy.

Good for you. As a Libertarian, I stand with you.

when i visited Kentucky in 1980 a lot of rural folks grew their own tobacco and weed. it was a dry county and you had to buy beer off of the sheriffs brother. behind the gas station. if you wanted shine you bought it from an old feller. he lived in a small house behind a mansion.

More power to you. I've had enough of this too. If you can grow it in Brooklyn, then I should be able to grow it in Southern California.

Great video. Just wondering, you grow it, harvest leaves, string them up, wait till theyre all brown, then de-vein then shred? Do you now have to cure it? Thankyou

Man. I stopped cigs for a while but seeing her take a drag of a jack/square makes me want one. The whole taste and rough sensation of a smoke 💨

Massive respect, hope your plants thrive ❤

Friking awsome thanks for the info!!🙏

in the southern US many grew up cropping fields of tobacco as their first job, usually before a driver's license - tobacco farms were everywhere in ENC -not very many tobacco fields to really count nowadays

I have been waiting and spending too much money, for too long, not to do this myself. I love to grow plants anyway.

African Grey is one of my favorite bird! Very sweet and honest video, thank you

this droning background string music is awesome and fitting for the craft

Bout to start growing some this coming spring! Cant wait

thanks for sharing

I don’t like tobacco. I hate it. But I like how this lady is standing up for herself. Salute!

one question, how much is the yield from 100 plants? I'm hoping to get a few pounds from about 50.. (small garden) sorry.. second question.. I think I could use a paper shredder for processing?

Good for you! Tobacco taxes are outrageous in N.Y. add NYC tax on top of that. I believe it's $15-16 dollars for a pack of cigarettes in NYC now in July 2021. I admire what you are doing, good luck to you

I don't smoke tobacco anymore but that was very interesting, and she is a Rock Star in my book. You go girl!

My spring project will be growing my own organic mullein and organic tobacco.

hi and sorry for my english, i wanted to ask you for advice, i am growing tobacco in pot, to make cigarettes for personal use, plants grow well, i wanted to know how to dry the leaves at home properly, then chop them and make cigarettes, could you tell me the whole procedure to have a tobacco ready to smoke? I don't have a barn or stables so I should do everything indoors

8 years later this pops up for me. I would do this, if i smoked. Power to her.

Love this girl!

all people who hat on tobacco smokers they have a right to do it some of them aren't even addicted they just enjoy the ritual such as myself hell I've gone weeks without smoking it doesn't bother me one bit

I'm actually going to add a small amount of tobacco plants in my garden this year I want to get the hands-on experience of what it's like to be a cigar roller wish me luck

I'm all about doing this, basically free tobacco, just buy filter tubes and a roller..no chemicals either. This is what it may come to in the future for us smokers anyway.

Good ON you! I live in Australia, and we smokers are DEMONISED for our choice of wanting to smoke Tobacco. It costs me $53+ AUD for a 25gram pouch of tobacco. I roll my own cigarettes. It would costs over $55+ AUD to buy a pack of 50 Tailors (already pre made cigarettes) Well actually probably more. Every year, our Cigarette prices go up 1-2 or more dollars AUD. The government taxes over 50 percent and take the money. If they really wanted people to quit, they would offer subsidised quit plans, etc. A 7 day pack of nicotine patches are $40 dollars AUD, these release not even 1 mg of nicotine per hour and take 8 hours minimum to start working. These work for some, but not for everyone. Then they have all the other nicotine replacement options, all are overpriced. You are looking at a minimum of $50AUD for a "starter pack" of 20 nicotine capsules and the white breather (not vape), it's a plastic breathing item you open and put a nicotine capsule/cartridge in. I brought some seeds 2 years ago. I havn't planted or tried to yet,. but I am going to soon once winter is almost over. Alcohol is the biggest drug out there. Causes the most problems, but it's "LEGAL" you can brew it in MOST places legally in this world, but yet Tobacco is the sinners choice they make it out.

I bet her tabacco is great to smoke no harsh chemicals and a real natural taste escape flavor.

Excellent 😊 Great idea that can be applied to other daily use products like food and herbs

Very cool and lots of respect to them for growing their own.

Im not really for people smoking cigarettes, having been a chain smoker for a decade. And knowing how bad it messes your lungs up. Its a terrible addiction. But this person is doing it the best way. Thats natural tobacco with none of the terrible additives. If you're going to be a smoker this is it. I would not reccomend that anyone starts though.

Bless you Audrey .subscribed of course.

love the bird.. gonna grow my own next year. too late this year to start a crop in Canada

I just picked a few leaves this morning. Brooklyn, we up!! I'm gonna try rolling my own cigars

New York eh? I live in WA and want to try this. I'm thinking starting inside in Feb. Any tips and advise would be greatly appreciated.

She's one of the healthiest smokers in America since she's growing her own. The amount of chemicals they spray on tobacco for "flavour" is ridiculous, and a huge part of withdrawal symptoms when people quit. Nicotine may be addictive, but it's not half as bad as the crap they add.

Anything against big busness im all for. Great job!

I'm a non-smoker. God bless you for standing up for human rights. My sister stopped smoking but in the early stages of this bullshit, when she went into a restaurant and was asked if she wanted to sit in the smoking or non-smoking section, she would always say I want to sit in the smoking section so that I can blow smoke in their faces while eat and smoke.

this is outstanding!

This is great keep up the good work

Awesome sauce!

Thinking of doing this also . Here in The Netherlands the prices are going nuts . I have a garden but no basement :( and to hang those leaves in my living room goes a little bit too far for me 😂

Used to know a guy who'd bring in an empty big name pack with his home grown-and-rolled cigarettes to the gas station every so often. It was magic to us working there, that stuff tastes and smells infinitely better than the stuff you buy. Could almost chew on the rich taste...

Plus, wouldn't this be a lot better for you cause it's not full of pesticides and chemicals tobacco companies put in theirs

Wow amazing the tobacco plant is actually a special plant

Fabulous! And, far healthier than the alternative.

she was probably 24 in this video

Government: !!!!! You: I don't remember asking you a GOT DAM THANG

what type of leaf is that? some leaves are painful to inhale..

Good for you

Love it!

Very cool i always wanted to grow my own wraps

I started smoking at the age of 18 I'm 25 now. My experience with tobacco has been great. But at the same time I know it's hard to quit smoking. But when I see ladies like this smoking I think to myself wow. I eel beutiful on the inside just like she feels beautiful on the inside

You know the leaf is ready when it starts to look like a smoker’s skin 🤣

This lady is great!

Nice segment 🎉

I am waiting for a NY citizen to show their poppy grow, then I will be impressed..

I love this video

Guys we are being denied to buy tobacco in South Africa during the covid lockdown. It is illigal to sell tobacco. We can't buy tobacco legally. I have Virgina gold and Black Sea Turkey but I don't have clue about how to gorw it. I made some seadlings. They are just speouting. But I dont know how much to tobacco can yeild (100 plants can yield.) I need enough tobacco to last me a whole season. I am just learning as I go along. What climates does tobacco grow in, should I do it indoors winter or will it be fine outdoors? I need to figure out how to ferment tobacco as well. Any advise will be appreciated. Wish it was ganja. It just grows so much easier.

Anyone know what instrument that is in the background

I like your tobacco press ... Make more videos Thank you The bird is cool too

I'm standing up for myself by quitting. I just started chantix yesterday. Wish me luck.🤞🏻

Legend. Stand up for your rights ✊🏼

Good ol american know how plus a great stuff u I will do it myself attitude.Love it..from Australia.

A 50G POUCH OF GOLDEN VIRGINIA HAND ROLLING TOBACCO HERE IN THE UK IS £34.00 THIS YEAR I STARTED TO GROW MY OWN. ANY ADVICE AS TO WHAT VARIETY I SHOULD GROW NEXT FOR A MEDIUM STRENGTH SMOKE LIKE GOLDEN VIRGINIA WOULD BE GREAT. I'VE JUST GROUND UP A LITTLE THAT WAS READY BUT ITS VERY WEAK. I'M GROWING GOLDEN VIRGINIA BUT I UNDERSTAND I SHOULD BLEND IT WITH OTHERS TO GET A STRONGER TASTE. IS THAT RIGHT?

What type of tobacco are you growing? What is a good time for planting? I'm all the way across the country in Southern California.

Where do I buy this?

Good point! ❤

Where did you get that audio track?? Badass!!

We do this in Philippines too. but we roll it on dried java plum leaves no chemicals just pure organic

Hi Audrey. Nice vid. Nice looking tobacco

Funny, that I found tobacco sorts to grow are so good, it's impossible to buy comparable for any money. Still, I prefer to grow tomatoes and melons (those are also better, than those in shops).

What type of tobacco does it she grow? There are different types.

I grow my own . Best cigarettes I have smoked were my own homegrown . There’s no “reconstituted” tobacco in my homegrown . Commercial cigarettes are around 50 percent recon tobacco. Basically everything you shouldn’t smoke on a tobacco plant (stems veins and poor quality leaf that is half eaten by bugs) or scraps that fall on the floor is liquified and a bunch of chemicals to help “smooth” the flavor and increase nicotine absorption. They spray the liquid garbage tobacco onto a roller and cut it up and pretend it’s tobacco. That’s most likely where 90 percent of the carcinogens come from. I’ll stick to my own homegrown. Just DO NOT SELL IT ! Cause that will get you a charge from the atf .

what type of tabaco was that ? virginia ?

I have wondered why more people don't do this... right on!

legend

Seems like a great crop to prep with.

Anything that sticks it to the nanny state, I'm all for.

What's with the Guqin music? Love it, but it's a curious choice.

Kudos to her. That being said - smoking cigarettes for 20+ years was a terrible mistake I regret. I took Chantix to quit about 12 years ago. Whatever you have to do to stop smoking - do it.
