The use of tobacco, originally begun in America and it has been extended to almost all parts of the world, and it is indeed comparable to the most common use of all drugs.Tobacco was widely used by the Indians at the time of the discovery of America by Columbus, and relics of the Mound Builders show that pipe smoking was a very old custom among Aborigines. Upon landing in the West Indies in 1492, members of the Columbus crew observed that the native rolls smoked dry tobacco leaves. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico in 1519, they found the natives cultivated tobacco with care and skill.Later in the early 17th century the culture and use of tobacco was introduced in India, Persia and other Asian countries.Today many methods for growing tobacco have been developed and over 1.5 billion people worldwide smokes today! With kiribati a country in the central Pacific Ocean been marked as the one which smoke a lot,about 52.2%(60 242) of the population are identified as smokers.
