>And anyway, how could HPB be in the ES if she smoked Tobacco?


Because there is no *occult* reason *against* smoking tobacco.

Read chapter Mark Jaqua: A Comparison of C. W. Leadbeater's The Chakras with
the writings of H. P. Blavatsky, William Q. Judge, and G. de Purucker in the
book: Margaret Thomas: Theosophy vs. Neo-Theosophy. This chapter gives a
clear insight into the pros and cons of smoking Tobacco. This Comparison
gives on this example too a broader overview who the genuine teachings of
the ES in the years were changed by some of those, which claimed to be her
successors.
