History of Tobacco
IN THE NEW WORLD
Columbus and other early explorers came to the New
World they found the Indians using Tobacco.
The natives carried dried leaves which they set on fire
and inhaled, or “drank” the smoke
The custom was it drove away spirits
They used it to begin and end wars (Peace Pipes).
Also it was important in their ceremonies for burial.
Tobacco was believed to be a cure-all, and was used to dress
wounds, as well as a pain killer. Chewing tobacco was believed
to relieve the pain of a toothache.
It is believed that Tobacco began growing in the
Americas about 6,000 B.C.
History of Tobacco
IN THE OLD WORLD
Soon after, sailors brought tobacco back to Europe, and the plant was being
grown all over Europe.
Europeans believed that tobacco could cure almost anything, from bad
breath to cancer!
In 1571, A Spanish doctor named Nicolas Monardes wrote a book about the
history of medicinal plants of the new world. In this he claimed that tobacco
could cure 36 health problems.
In 1588, A Virginian named Thomas Harriet promoted smoking tobacco as a
viable way to get one's daily dose of tobacco. Unfortunately, he died of nose
cancer (it was popular then to breathe the smoke out through the nose).
During the 1600's, tobacco was so popular that it was frequently used as
money! Tobacco was literally "as good as gold!"
In 1610 Sir Francis Bacon noted that trying to quit the bad habit was really
hard!
In 1632, 12 years after the Mayflower arrived on Plymouth Rock, it was
illegal to smoke publicly in Massachusetts!
In 1760, Pierre Lorillard establishes a company in New York City to process
tobacco, cigars, and snuff. Today, P. Lorillard is the oldest tobacco company
in the U.S.
