Drake was aware of it's importance as a trading commodity.
The Spanish explorers/traders/invaders noted that the Aztecs smoked a large rolled dried leaf.
Cortez, in particular was linked to tobacco.
The Spanish were the first to import the leaf and habit of smoking to Europe. Although sailors from all nations were quick to adopt the habit.
Drake was the first to bring a consignment of tobacco to the UK in 1573.
The spread of tobacco was swift.
Very soon it was grown throughout Europe.
Through the Europeans, it was traded to China. The Chinese then introduced it to Mongolia and Siberia.
It took about fifty years for smoking tobacco to spread the whole globe.
