Ask your "family member" to support the idea with verifiable citations.
You family member has wondered from the reservation.
Lets start with the first issue. There is little real evidence to suggest that MSG is especially bad for you. Yes its a flavor enhancer. Yes it has sodium. It gets a bad rap becuse its in cheaper foods and some people claim alergies to it. The tobacco in tobacco is far worse for all of us than MSG. Im gonna simply call this BS
As for it being in tobacco...I really wonder. Some tobaccos have an unami flavor but that is when something in burnt. I dont even know if msg would taste anything like msg if burnt. As we all know, tobaccos taste far different burnt than they do in the tin.

MSG is a neurological excitatory chemical (read neurotoxin) and is best avoided in the myriad of processed "foods" in which it is used to stimulate craving for said item.
I have never read that it is in tobacco.
Family member may be confused and have questions / concerns about propylene glycol, which is used in some blends for moisture retention.

Perhaps, but only in House Special blends

The Kung Pow Cavendish is full of the stuff as is the General Tso’s Burley.Perhaps, but only in House Special blends
Yeah, I only notice the MSG when I soak my tobacco in the broth of my shrimp w/mixed vegetables overnight.
From the National Institute of health website (the ones that dont want us to smoke).
"Critical analysis of existing literature, establishes that many of the reported negative health effects of MSG have little relevance for chronic human exposure and are poorly informative as they are based on excessive dosing that does not meet with levels normally consumed in food products."

I'll be more concerned when my tobacco says it contains GMO. 
Just wanted to share. About 30 min after finishing my shrimp with mixed vegetables, egg drop soup, cheese wontons, egg roll, fried rice, and little chicken wing...I felt my heart racing in my chest and decided to take my blood pressure. My resting heart rate is usually in the mid 40s-50s bpm. This is why I limit myself to eating out just once a week.

msg is naturally occurring so damn good chance.
Oh if you're worried about MSG get rid of your mushroom and lots of other veggies.
What kills me is the whole MSG super bad came from one doctor who ate a ton of chinesse food and got the symptoms of consuming too much sodium and spiking the hell out their blood pressure, but instead said it must be some exotic poison.From the National Institute of health website (the ones that dont want us to smoke).

This explains why I'm hungry again only an hour after finishing a bowl.
Yeah Zero. One Chinese restaurant meal can have the equivalent of two teaspoons of pure salt. Double the daily allowance mainlined in one meal.
…but its sooo good!

Pipe tobacco with no MSG is awfully bland.
I try to avoid MSG, would never trust NIH and have no idea why MSG would even be added to smoking tobacco. Maybe chewing tobacco or snuff but I've never heard of it in pipe tobacco.
Have you ever felt craving for some Chinese food? Now tobacco companies have figured out the Chinese food secret.
I’d be surprised if it didn’t.I'll be more concerned when my tobacco says it contains GMO.
