| | A Brief History of Cigarettes (4th Feb 15 at 8:49am UTC) | | In 1492, when America was in its first days of discovery, Christopher Columbus discovered tobacco. These dried leaves were given as gifts and discarded with no importance. Nearly 30 years later it was observed that the natives of Yucatan were smoking cigarettes. After early day research of tobacco, it was first recorded that the plant had an addictive nature. Not much later, European cultivation of tobacco began. Within 25 years, tobacco was introduced Portugal, Spain, and France and within a couple of years, England. By the early 1600's, Virginia enter the world tobacco market cultivating that plant for sale in England. By the late 1800's, beginning in Massachusetts, outdoor smoking starts to become banned due to the dangers of fire, unlike today's bans due to health risks. In 1794, tobacco's popularity had risen so much that U.S. Congress passes the first tax on the plant's products. Believe it or not, Vamo V5 the first anti-tobacco organization actually developed in 1830.
Tobacco may have been prevalent and on the rise, but the actual cigarette was not yet invented until 1832. By 1860, the first manufactured cigarettes were appearing in the United States in a market commanded by Bull Durham. From 1861-1865, soldier rations include tobacco, in the meanwhile, the first American cigarette factory opens, Vamo V6 producing nearly 20 million cigarettes on a yearly basis. By 1875 celebrity is used to skyrocket cigarette popularity, and this branding continues for many years to come.
From 1898-1901, between Supreme Court hearing and strong anti-cigarette activity and outlawing, the unhealthy aspects of cigarettes make their first appearance despite their sales being in the billions and their 80% American male usage rate. The next half century brings us ads, sports usage, celebrity usage, booming cigarette economy, and more.
