Smoking dates back to ancient civilizations, with evidence suggesting that tobacco use began around 5000 BC in the Americas. Indigenous peoples used tobacco for various purposes, including rituals and medicinal practices. The practice of smoking tobacco became more widespread after European contact in the late 15th century, particularly following Christopher Columbus's voyages. By the 17th century, smoking had gained popularity in Europe and beyond.
