Why do tobacco companies use fertilizer that breaks down into radioactive polonium and lead?

Asked by SquirrelEStuff (10007points) August 4th, 2008

I know that these are also in soil, but is that due to the fertilizer that is being used?
Are there safer alternatives?
How come more people do not know this?
Are these fertilizers used in other countries?
Do all US tobacco companies use it?
