After helping several friends quit over the years I don’t think the tobacco helped his feet, I think not having it made him fidgety and led to his pacing all day.

I think there are a surprising number of people who don’t know that the slave trade is thriving in other parts of the world. This year I read Disposable People and Half the Sky and they both really opened my eyes to the ways slavery manifests itself these days.

(But I’m curious how chewing (or smoking) tobacco would have protected his feet from the pain that day.)

Listening to my brother-in-law that grew up in Central Utah, this story was sorely needed there.
