Hi there, this is Marcus again. I think Aliff has done a great job in posting many several good details and now i have absolutely no idea what i can contribute to this blog now. I think as for this post we will side track a bit by telling how smoking even started.
I came across this website and it is very detail : http://healthliteracy.worlded.org/docs/tobacco/Unit1/2history_of.html
This explain briefly how people started smoking. You can click on the link to see more. Or... if you are feeling lazy i can summaries it for you.
It seems that the Mayan Indians of Mexico carved drawings in stone showing tobacco use somewhere between 600 to 900 A.D. Tobacco was grown by American Indians before the Europeans. Native Americans smoked tobacco through a pipe for special religious and medical purposes and they did not smoke everyday.
To say it briefing, smoking was never used for recreation and leisure purpose as it was now. Some thinking thoughts?
Signing off,
Marcus
