Tobacco and humans have a long-standing relationship, much like
food and tea. Many uses of tobacco appear to have originated from
snuffing. As snuffing implements are among the oldest tobaccorelated
items yet discovered. Tobacco was chewed, eaten, drank (like
tea), smeared on bodies (to kill lice and other parasites), and used in eye
drops and enemas. In addition to being sniffed and smoked. It was also
blown into the faces of warriors before battle, over agricultural fields
before planting, and over ladies before sex. Tobacco was thought to
have medical benefits, such as analgesic and antibacterial properties,
and could be used to treat a number of ailments. Tobacco was often
offered to gods in religious rituals. Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana
rustica are the Americas' oldest plants, having evolved in the Andes
near Peru and Ecuador. People first learned about Nicotina tabacum
and Nicotiana rustica, as well as other species like tomatoes, potatoes,
maize, cacao, and rubber, when they travelled from Asia to the
American continents beyond the Bering Straight land bridge around
18 000 years ago. Tobacco use had spread over the American continent
and Cuba by the time Christopher Columbus landed in 1492..[1]
