How being raised on a tocacco farm changed my beliefs

Change of my beliefs on tobacco: As a child growing up on a tobacco farm I can remember having to do a lot of hard work. I lived on a family farm so I was raised not only by my parents, but also by my grandparent, Aunts and Uncles. I thought that tobacco was great after all it was how my family earned money . As I grew older my grandmother would always tell me how …

…something that I felt so strongly against. My grandmother even told me she was proud of me for standing up for what's right. Years later my family stopped raising tobacco, I never asked the reasons why, it could have been that they could no longer get a fare price in the market place. I would like to believe that, just maybe I my have had something to do with there choice to stop producing tobacco.
