tobacco
Let an agent explain tobacco as plant, commodity and product, relay cultivation, history, health effects and regulation from WHO and public health sources, describe the products, varieties and structures the registry aliases name without promotion, and distinguish tobacco from nicotine alone, e-cigarettes and other plants, pointing to cessation services.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Let an agent explain tobacco as plant, commodity and product, relay cultivation, history, health effects and regulation from WHO and public health sources, describe the products, varieties and structures the registry aliases name without promotion, and distinguish tobacco from nicotine alone, e-cigarettes and other plants, pointing to cessation services.
The cured leaves of plants of the genus Nicotiana, mainly Nicotiana tabacum, grown as a commodity and processed into cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, snus and other products, with regional varieties such as Turkish Celikhan tobacco, cured in structures such as tobacco barns and sold under many brands; tobacco contains the addictive stimulant nicotine, and tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, regulated by the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. The model does not promote tobacco and points to cessation support.
