I don’t smoke but I think the e-cigarette is a great way for smokers to quit smoking. You are right, a real cigarette has so much more chemicals and poisons and it’s harmful to second hand smokers. Not with the e-cigarettes which I think is a win win for both smokers and non smokers alike.

Although Tobacco Road was filmed in California, there really is a Tobacco Road, about 11 miles south of Augusta, Georgia crossing U.S. Highway 1 at Fort Gordon, and running to the Savannah River. I grew up 1 mile north of Tobacco Road on Hwy 1 from 1945 to 1957. It was a dirt road when I lived there and I learned to drive a car on it. There were some ’seedy’ characters living on the road back then. One of them got shot and died while trying to commit a burglary. I knew him. Also, the character in the movie, “Sister Bessie” was a real live woman preacher in the area, who did, in fact, marry a very young man. Our family knew them also. I’m guessing that Erskine Caldwell knew about her, and put her in the book, Tobacco Road. Her real name was Ella. I won’t reveal her last name.
