How men first came to smoke tobacco
is not known; but two things are clear:
that the practice was originally a re-
ligious rite, and that it was brought in
the sixteenth century from America to
Europe, whence it spread to Asia. All
three modes of using the weed-cigars,
pipes, and snuff-were found in vogue
among the natives by the earliest dis
ccverers. In the narrative of the first
voyage of Columbus, we are told Of the
astoniShment of the Spaniards at see
