MiIady Smoked Lono Aoo.

Smoking among women started when Sir Walter Raleigh offered the divine weed to Queen Elizabeth, but he almost paid the penalty with his life. So very sick did the few whiffs of tobacco make the royal lady that courtiers whispered Master Raleigh had poisoned her. and dark looks were his portion. Her highness recovered, however, and took a truly Elizabethan revenge by making the countess of Nottingham and all her maids smoke out whole pipe among them.
