Bessie did not smoke cigarettes. According to her niece, Ruby Walker Smith, she smoked "reefers." When asked if Bessie smoked pot, Ruby said, "No, no she only smoked regular reefers." I'm not versed in the forms of marijuana as the progressed and can't really determine what a "regular reefer" is. Someone else may be able to comment on that.
