In this video, we take a look at when smoking was introduced to Europe. Colombus brought tobacco back to Spain when he discovered the New World but blowing out smoke from your mouth was not seen as natural and soon aroused suspicion.
Through the coming centuries, smoking was adopted by the population and came to be regarded as a medicine of sorts, incorporating it into the Humoral theory and Miasma Theory of the time. it wouldn't be until the 20th century that the true harmfulness of smoking was uncovered.

Pipe Smoking was still a very common way of smoking in the UK up until the time it became the norm to not smoke at all.

Fought for years with my 3 brothers over their smoking. 2 died of small cell lung cancer the other ALS. Did not Drake or Raleigh catch hell from the Queen for smoking?

I remember a magazine ad for cigarettes that showed a handsome, professional-looking man with the caption "Three out of five doctors smoke Spews."

The problem with whether tobacco is a useful drug or a dangerous poison is that all drugs are also poisons, the difference is only in the dose. The problem was that smoking tobacco was done for recreation, and the recreational use of any drug is likely to be poisonous.
