Introduction to Part 3
When I asked one county extension agent about public perceptions of tobacco today, he replied:
If you're asking, Ann, if a tobacco farmer in Kentucky can go to a national meeting somewhere, like you know the Community Farm Alliance or Farm Bureau, and stand up and say “I'm a tobacco farmer from Kentucky” and be proud of it—I think there has to be a little bit of stigma, that they don't do that. As I've aged in this position and have been able to go to more and experience more national type meetings, or people from other places, yeah, when you—the connotation of tobacco farmer, now, is not that good wholesome, you know producing good food and fiber for the United States. In other words I think yeah there is a—we're—this is a vice.
Over the course of the second half of the twentieth century, the social and political meanings of tobacco have undergone extraordinary changes. As this extension agent pointed out, however, not only have the meanings of tobacco changed, but so too has the status of the tobacco farmer: there is now a “stigma.”
