Does anyone have thoughts on tobacco products as they relate to the spiritual side of things? I know some tribal cultures think of it as a sacred herb. However I cant help but think that it is symptomatic of some sort of spiritual deficiency. Maybe it's like food where as one should learn to savor each bite instead of just cramming it down your gullet. Where as in tobacco maybe if we savor some pipe tobacco nothing is wrong but mindlessly consuming it is?

Thoughts?
