There is a way to smoke: American Indians throw some tobacco on the fire, and then put one end of a long pipe in their mouth and the other end above the flame, so that they can inhale the smoke into their mouths.
Around 1560, a Frenchman named Jean Nico lived in Lisbon, Portugal. He is very interested in all the plants in America, some of which are very different from those in Europe. He and others often use tobacco leaves to relieve pain and want to use this method to relieve pain. We now say that tobacco contains nicotine, and the word nicotine comes from this person's name.
In fact, there are many ways to treat diseases with tobacco. Sometimes horses are so ill that they can't even walk steadily. So someone blew tobacco smoke into the horse's nose, thinking that the horse seemed to be well. Poor horse! Nobody blows cigarettes at horses now.
Sir Raleigh of England was very famous during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He traveled around the world and learned to smoke. I didn't quit smoking after I returned to England. He smokes two packs of cigarettes secretly in his room every day. He quickly hid his pipe when someone came in. However, one day-according to this story-he didn't move fast enough. A man came in and found the room full of smoke. Rowley's mouth kept smoking. So the man picked up water and poured it on Rowley, thinking that he was on fire. The man ran out of the room and told everyone about it.
From then on, smoking is no longer a secret. Rowley told Queen Elizabeth about it and said that he could weigh the cigarettes he smoked. If the queen doesn't believe me, let him explain.
"First of all," he said, "I weighed the tobacco leaves and put them in my pipe to suck them up. Then weigh the remaining ash-take the ash out of the pipe and put it on the balance. There is a great difference in the weight of tobacco leaves and ash. Tobacco leaves must be heavier than ash, and the difference between them must be the weight of cigarettes. "
The idea is good, but Rowley is still wrong. Because any substance needs oxygen when it burns, this oxygen usually comes from air. Raleigh's tobacco also needs to get oxygen from the air when burning, but there is no oxygen in the tobacco leaves. Rowley only adds oxygen when he smokes. Because the weight of oxygen is added, the weight of smoke is greater than the difference between the weight of tobacco leaves and ash.
Rowley lived a hard life and died in 16 18. He died calmly. Just before he died, he smoked a pack of cigarettes.

Tobacco is a plant native to South America, and its leaves can be chewed or rolled up for smoking. The earliest people who enjoyed tobacco were American Indian reds.

Among the many hobbies of China people, the trend of worshipping foreign things and admiring foreign things is becoming more and more fierce. Only cigarettes, a luxury product that has created the greatest tax benefits for the country, make China people stand tall. Although foreign cigarettes were popular in China for some time in 1980s, our domestic cigarettes finally defeated these invaders.
The attraction of high-grade cigarettes lies in their beautiful and mellow aroma. It's also tobacco. It just smokes its cigarettes. People are willing to buy it at a hundred times the price, which is exactly the same as perfume-aroma plays a decisive role here.
Although the slogan "quit smoking" is loud, the number of smokers is still increasing. It seems that we have to find another way to eliminate the harm of cigarettes. At present, the medical community believes that it is best to develop harmless "healthy cigarettes" to replace cigarettes harmful to human health. This plan can't be achieved in one step, it can only be carried out in stages. First reduce the tar content by half, then reduce the nicotine content, and then reduce the tar content ... until it is completely harmless to the human body.
Reducing tar and nicotine content is easier said than done. If some tar and nicotine are removed, smokers will not accept it, and the only way to say "boring" is to add incense, deceiving the nose and mouth of "addicts", so that they gradually forget the familiar smell and gradually like aromatic compounds that are harmless to human body. "Seasoning" is, of course, adding flavor components of natural tobacco or similar natural tobacco.
Japan first found a substitute, that is, aloe vera, which is said to be popular all over the world and can cure all diseases. When aloe leaves are dried and added to tobacco, tar and nicotine can be greatly reduced, and the "taste" is closest to tobacco. Of course, "smokers" will be more popular after the perfumer adds a special "aloe health essence for cigarettes". Japanese scientific and technological circles call the advent of aloe health cigarettes "a great revolution in the world tobacco industry"
The perfuming technology is more important for the manufacture of snuff, because snuff only smells its aroma and does not ignite to smoke, so the added spices are different from cigarettes. Of course, there were only natural spices at that time, and synthetic spices made by chemical methods had not yet been born.
Tobacco was used to make cigarettes in modern times, and large-scale production appeared in the Crimean War. The war helped the spread of cigarettes to some extent. During World War I and World War II, cigarettes were distributed to soldiers in large quantities. In the second half of the twentieth century, the harm of cigarettes began to be widely publicized, and there were hints that smoking was harmful in cigarette cases.
So the first person to smoke should be an American Indian.
