The king's reaction to Jamestown's famous crop, tobacco, was largely positive. Tobacco quickly became a lucrative cash crop, leading to increased trade and economic growth for the colony. King James I, however, initially expressed disdain for tobacco due to health concerns, referring to it as "a stinking fume." Despite his reservations, the profitability of tobacco ultimately benefited the crown through increased revenues and colonial expansion.
