John Rolfe planted the first tobacco seed in the new world. Tobacco was extremely hard to get your hands on, and I think it was illegal (I would do more research if I were you). There was tobacco in every garden in Plymouth, VA after that. More and more people started to get addicted to it, so the demand went up for it (especially in England), and it soon became a major cash crop in the New World.
