nicotine lead and tar arent naturally found in tobacco straight from the ground. homegrown tobacco that was dried and cut is way(ok, at least) better than a pack of cigarettes from the store.

HA ha ha! Nicotine isn't naturally found in tobacco? You must be out of your mind. There's a reason people have been chewing the stuff for thousands of years, you know. To quote Professor John Gerrod, "Nicotine is there purely because it is present in tobacco. It is not added."
Tell you what. One of the largest manufacturers of tobacco published a list of every additive they use a few years ago. I put a link to it here. Tell me if you find lead and tar on there. I sure couldn't.
Lead naturally exists in a lot of things in small amounts. You'll probably find about a hundred times more lead in gasoline fumes you breathe when you fill up your gas tank than in the most supplemented of manufactured tobacco. And tar, by definition, is what's left over when you distill something... not necessarily the black stuff they put on roads.

nicotine and tar ABSOLUTELY exist in natural tobacco
the commercial tobacco has a multitude of OTHER ingredients which make a pack of those cigarettes more dangerous than growing your own and leaving OUT things like arsenic and formaldehyde and the other chemicals added to commercial cigarettes.

FYI
Nicotine and tar are naturally found in tobacco and not stuffed in cigarette packing factories.
