Origin:
Archaeologists believe that the earliest evidence of human use of tobacco so far is the relief in a temple built in 432 AD in Belenke, Chiapas, southern Mexico. It is a semi-relief painting, which shows a Maya with a long pipe and a pipe. At the ancestor worship ceremony, the pipe blows smoke and the head is wrapped with tobacco leaves.
Archaeologists also found tobacco and ash residues in caves inhabited by Indians in northern Arizona, USA. According to textual research, the age of these relics is about 650 AD. According to records, Salvadorans smoked tobacco in14th century.
American Indians were the first people to grow and use tobacco. 1492 10 10 In October, Columbus led an expedition to America and saw the local people smoking. Sailors brought tobacco seeds back to Portugal in 1558, and then they spread all over Europe. 16 12 years, British colonial official John Rolfe planted tobacco in Jamestown, Virginia, and started the tobacco trade. Tobacco was introduced to China in the middle of16th century and to Japan in the late of16th century.
Long ago, Native Americans had the custom of worshipping the sun and offering sacrifices to smoking. Some archaeological analysis also found that American residents had the habit of smoking 3500 years ago. With the further exploration of American history, the history of tobacco may extend to an earlier period of Indian history. In addition, safflower tobacco, which is widely planted today, likes warmth, so the view that tobacco originated in tropical America is more convincing.
