Tobacco is an American plant. When Columbus arrived in 1492, he observed Native Americans smoking it. They actually used to insert their cigars into their nostrils to smoke them. Columbus took tobacco back to Europe where, because of its addictive nature, it soon became very, very valuable. At one time tobacco leaves were actually used as currency.
Smoking dates all the way back to 5000 BC, and has been recorded to be used in many different places and cultures around the world. Smoking was invented and evolved into being an offering to deities, and was used at religious ceremonies.
Smoking was also used by priest, as "cleansing rituals or to allow shamans and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment."
