Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is possible for a tobacco farmer to receive a plant patent for a new tobacco plant that does not cause any negative health effects when smoked. This would allow the farmer to exclusively sell and cultivate the plant for a certain number of years, and prevent others from using, selling or reproducing it without permission. However, it is important to note that any product containing nicotine, even if it is from a plant with reduced negative effects, can still lead to addiction and health problems.
