Retraction

In response to my mother's comment on my last blog post, I double-checked my source and found that it didn't actually state that Joseph Smith ever used tobacco. It said that many of the men in a group to which he belonged did, and it said, collectively, that the group did, but Joseph Smith himself was not specifically included in or excluded from the group of those who smoked and chewed tobacco. He might have. He might not have. Many of his peers did, but it's still possible that he didn't. So, I was mistaken yesterday, and I'm grateful that I was. Now, I don't have to talk about Joseph Smith smoking tobacco because, as far as Primary Handbook knows, he may not have.
