trong doan van : Tobacco
For thousands of year tobacco was used by the American Indians with no ill-effect. In the 16th century it was brought to Europe. This early tobacco was mixed with soil and rather dirty. It was chewed or smoked in pipes only by men-women thought it smelly and digusting.
It was first grown commercially in Amercia in the 17th century on slave plantations. In the 18th century new technology refined tobacco and the first cigarettes were produced. By the 1880s huge factories were producing cigarettes which were clean and easy to smoke. Chain-smoking and inhaling became possible and by the middle of the 20th century tobacco addicts, both men and women, were dying of lung cancer in great numbers.
Nowadays, cigarette smoking is banned in many places, especially in America's main export, and still today their tobacco industry makes over $4.2 billion a year.
