When did cigarettes become popular?

Answer 1

It is possible that the earliest recorded opinion of tobacco, especially the smoking of, as harmful to health would be the Counterblast to Tobacco written in 1604 by James I of England. In this, at the time anonymous, pamphlet he says that smoking is "hurtful to the health of the whole body" and affects the "inward parts of men [by] fouling and infecting them with an unctuous and oily kind of soot as hath been found in some great tobacco-takers that after their death were opened." He also notes that it is "a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs."

Answer 2

Cigarettes became popular in Europe and the U.S. between about 1900-1925. Before that the popular 'smokes' were the cigar and the pipe. In the 1920s it also became increasingly acceptable for women to smoke in their own homes ...

Answer 3

People have smoked cigars and pipes for thousands of years. However, the invention of the modern cigarette was the responsibility of first beggars in Seville, Spain, where cigars were produced. They rolled scrap tobacco in paper and smoked it that way. Cigarettes gained popularity among British soldiers during the Crimean War in the mid 1800's, when they found the Turkish cigarette to be more convenient. The final nail in the coffin of millions of smokers came with the invention of a machine that could roll cigarettes in the mid 1800's.

It isn't nicotine that causes the cancer, although that certainly will raise your blood pressure. It's the TAR in the cigarette that's the dangerous ingredient plus the many UNKNOWN ingredients, which is LEGAL.

These include coffee extract, sugar, vanilla, cocoa, menthol, clove oil, caramel and chlorophyll, the compound that gives plants their green colour-- and that's the 'nice' ones. Ammonia, acetaldehyde and pyridine are also added to some cigarettes.

The purpose of putting additives into cigarettes is NOT to just improve their potency but their addictiveness.

It wasn't until the 1960s when questions were raised about smoking. But it was denied until the late 70s and early 80s. Until it was banned in 2007.
