However, in the XVIII century, the harmful properties became clear and tobacco medical use was wasted.

Today, it can become the basis of the production of complex pharmaceuticals such as tobacco, vaccines, insulin and immunotherapy. Thanks to the recuminant technology of genetic engineering, tobacco can be modified for the production of proteins required for the formation of drugs. This is much cheaper than traditional methods that require expensive bioractors.

According to the researchers, the Canadian company Medicago showed tobacco potential in 2012 and created more than 10 million influenza vaccines in just a month. It is also used for the production of immunotherapy against tobacco, HIV, Ebola and even cancer. One of these drugs took an emergency in the US during Ebola’s eruption in 2014.

Scientists, tobacco can play an important role in the development of the area, he added. Plant seeds can be used on minimum area containers and Mars and other planets.

In addition to drugs, it can be used for the production of expensive spices such as tobacco, saffron or flavor, which makes it a universal culture for agriculture.
