History
Tobacco is a plant that was originally native to the Americas, and many Native Americans thought of the plant as a gift from the "Great Spirit" and used it in religious ceremonies. Rodrigo de Jerez, a Spanish explorer, brought tobacco back to Spain in the early 1500's, where the habit of smoking became popular very quickly. As it became more popular, its value skyrocketed, and tobacco was used as money in the early American Colonies.3

More History
Snuff use was very popular in 18th Century Europe, but by the 19th century cigars had become the primary tobacco product. In the mid-1800's, Philip Morris, J.E. Liggett, and R.J. Reynolds began their tobacco companies. Then came the invention of matches and cigarette rolling machines. Cigarette use began to skyrocket. During World War I soldiers were provided with free cigarettes.
