Tobacco is controlled through Federal govt, ATF, since the big tobacco buyout, and the dismantling of tobacco bases, anyone is now free to grow it, but you have to have a liscense to buy, raw tobacco. The only places to buy tobacco is the large tobacco companies, and tobacco bulk buyers, which are in KY, Carolinas , and TN, and with the new global market unless your a giant mechanised tobacco farmer you can not get enough money to cover expenses. This has put many small farms out of buisness.
