Yes, tobacco is native to North America. Indigenous peoples in the region have cultivated and used tobacco for thousands of years for various purposes, including ceremonial and medicinal uses. The plant, specifically Nicotiana tabacum, was widely grown and traded long before European contact. Its use and cultivation spread globally following the arrival of Europeans in the Americas.
