RE: [DIYbio] gen mod tobacco?

As a tool I LOVE tobacco. I use it to express stuff all the time. To
make it the focus of GM in and of itself is a different story.
Exploiting it for tools is one thing, making it a better crop is
another. Plus USDA, EPA, and FDA approval is millions of dollars.

But are the ones listening the same group? As for tool users for GMO
research, will they care if it is tobacco? If anti tobacco
activists shout that tobacco-based researchers are promoting tobacco,
will it cause trouble for users of laboratory plants, or even
factory-greenhouse plants?
