Food stuff
Food stuff, the term ' foodstuff' is ambiguous. In one sense it has a narrow meaning and is limited to articles which are eaten as food for purposes of nutrition and nourishment and so would exclude condiments and spices such as yeast, salt, pepper, baking powder and turmeric. In a wider sense, it includes everything that goes in to the preparation of food proper (as understood in the narrow sense) to make it more palatable and digestible In my opinion the problems posed cannot be answered in the abstract and must be viewed in relation to its background and context, State of Bombay v.

[Essential Supplies (Temporary powers) Act, 1946, s. 2(9)]'Foodstuff' need not necessarily mean only the final food product which is consumed.

Tobacco
Tobacco. The growth of tobacco was formerly prohibited in any part of the United Kingdom, and any person growing it was liable to a penalty of 10l. for every rood grown, recoverable by penal action. See 12 Car. 2, c. 34 (the preamble of which shows the origin of the prohibition to have been the protection and maintenance of the colonies and plantations in America, and of the commerce of this country with them); 15 Car. 2, c. 7; and the (English) Tobacco Cultivation Act, 1831 (1 & 2 Wm. 4, c. 13). As to Ireland the Irish Tobacco Act, 1907 (7 Edw. 7, c. 3), largely removed the restrictions as to growth, etc., and similar provision is now made for Scotland and England by the Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910, which repeals the two Acts of Charles II. and the Act of 1831, and by s. 83 (5) entirely removes all prohibition or restraint on the growth, making, or curing of tobacco in England and Scotland, and to the same time imposes [s. 83 (2)] an excise duty of 5s. for a licence to grow, cultivate...
