To dream of tobacco, denotes success in business affairs, but poor returns in love.
To use it, warns you against enemies and extravagance.
To see it growing, foretells successful enterprises. To see it dry in the leaf, ensures good crops to farmers, and consequent gain to tradesmen.
To smoke tobacco, denotes amiable friendships.

For a boy to dream of chewing tobacco, is a sign of poverty, as rum and tobacco-chewing go together: to dream of smoking foretells waste, but is not exactly an omen of poverty, though waste always precedes that state. The best way is not to dream of using tobacco at all. If you dream of seeing large piles of tobacco, it is a sign of bad luck and loss in some speculation. To dream you take snuff is a bad omen in love affairs, but if you dream you sneeze when you take it, it is a sign of long life.
