Dear All: made me laugh when I read that Tanay thinks its a beloved plant... yes beloved of tobacco giants, bidiwallas, and tamaku chewers, and the family that got rich by mixing selling p**para* (please don't say it, its a brand name) ... and the share holders who got rich on tobacco equities over the last three hundred years in five continents.... .... but not beloved of those of us who deal with misery of LUNG CANCER, MOUTH and Larynx and Pharynx CANCERs, TONGUE CANCER, URINARY BLADDER CANCER and childhood ASTHMA... to name a few....
Although I must say the pink flowers are indeed attractive.... Usha di On Apr 21, 8:00 pm, Alok Mahendroo <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting...!!
