Listen "The History Project: The Tobacco Industry - West Virginia's Major Influence on the Industry in Pop Culture"
Episode Synopsis
Tobacco did not reign supreme over West Virginia's economy as it did its neighboring states, but it did play a vital role in shaping the industry. With products touted in movies like "Seven Days in May" and "The Green Mile," Mail Pouch barns by country roads of the East and Midwest, and even the invention of the word "stogie," the Mountain State's contribution to the tobacco industry remains seen in America's pop culture.
