I’m not sure if you’re trolling or not but I’m too lazy to search if you are.

I am sure they think that it is the tobacco that is a insecticide and not the nicotine that was added to said tobacco…

  They don’t add nicotine to tobacco, tobacco plants produce nicotine. That’s why people have smoked it for 100s of years.
  
  I hadn’t heard of this, but as far as insecticides go, this sounds about as benign as possible.

    Interesting, makes me very confused on why we added nicotine to tobacco on top of what is in it already (my uncle worked on a tobacco farm as a young man and did spray the stuff). I guess they really wanted that nicotine…

No, it’s an actual thing. My parents also soak tobacco in water and then use it in their garden. But I don’t know if it actually does anything or not because I’m also too lazy to look it up
