Brother Branham, is it wrong to grow–to grow and work in tobacco? I don’t believe I got that.
125 Now, I’m against tobacco. I’m against the use of tobacco; any born again Christian will be; that’s all, because it’s wrong. We know that even the medical science say that’s what starts most of throat and–and lung cancer, is–is tobacco. They say, “Smoke filtered cigarettes.”
126 Now, to you man and women who smoke, that’s just deceiving you, ’cause you cannot...Well, the only thing that they do...When you buy filtered cigarettes, you have to buy more of them, because it just lets a certain percent of the smoke through. Because anybody will tell you...
127 I heard that lecture at the World’s Fair up in Washington last year (when I was out there at the World’s Fair), and them doctors from all over the world there explained it; said that you cannot have smoke without tar, and you can’t...And if you got smoke you got tar. And said, “Don’t let no man deceive you on filtered cigarettes, for where you smoke one or the other that would satisfy the longing that you have for cigarettes, you’ll smoke two or three of the other.” It’s only a–a public gag, a publicity gag on radio and television.
128 But to work in tobacco or grow tobacco. Now, you Kentucky brethren that grows this tobacco...Well, let me say one thing: If it condemns you to do it, don’t you do it, ’cause I wouldn’t want to make anything that would...that I know was supporting somebody else to their death. It’s wrong to give a neighbor a strong drink, then it’d be wrong to make a strong drink. But let me say something else now. Now, as far as growing it...
129 Tobacco, you know, nicotine is also used in medical terms. And did you know you grow corn that makes whiskey, wheat and barley that makes whiskey? That right? All right. See? You don’t know what they’re going to use it for.
130 But now, we grow corn, that we can think when we’re growing corn, that it might make corn flakes, and food for the people, cornbread, and so forth; but they also make intoxication drinks out of it (see?), so you wouldn’t know what to do.
131 And you grow...You have a lily garden. You know what they do with the lily? They make opium out of it. You know what they do with lettuce? They do the same thing. Opium also is in lettuce. Did you ever eat a bunch of lettuce and see how quiet you feel for a little bit? It’s the opium in it. Do you know it’s also in onions? Sure. So, you–you see, it depends on what you’re doing it for.
132 But let me say this, as a Christian brother to a Christian brother: If you have a tobacco base, sell it to somebody else, take the chance on the corn. I believe it would be better (see?), because no doubt what they’re growing that...

I got that. Come from...I told you where it was from. It’s from away from here. I got that question. And now, let’s see.
