"People have smoked the leaves of the tobacco plant for hundreds maybe thousands of years. Today, thanks to modern medical technology there is definite proof that smoking is dangerous to your health, in fact, in many cases, deadly. However, smoking, sniffing, or chewing the plant is the killer not the plant itself if left alone. This plant like many others can be used for our benefit rather than our demise. Join BRIT as we share the latest news of a Danish biotech company called Aresa who has developed a tobacco plant that can actually detect the location of land mines! We’ll take a closer look at tobacco as a beneficial plant and how scientists have developed the many ways it can save lives! Disclaimer: BRIT does not condone the use of tobacco in any other form than what we are presenting on Sept. 5th.9:00 - 9:30 AM
