Abstract
The origin of tobacco is quite old, and it became an industry when European discovered it. But the future of this particular industry is uncertain. tobacco is not really an innocent product, since it has been proved to be addicting and to favour diseases such as cancer. Consequently, tobacco firms have been subject to many critics concerning their harmful products and tendency to hide information concerning danger of tobacco for the last 30 years. tobacco is still a profitable industry, thanks its lack of atomicity, but legal risk is constantly growing. tobacco use was common in most parts of native America. Some evidences reveal its consumption is at least dating from 900 A.D. It was widely distributed throughout the continent. tobacco was smoked, sometimes with pipes. The first Europeans to meet Native American, sailors of Christopher Columbus, were astonished by this practice, and a little disgusted. But no sooner have they tried it than they like the feeling, and they introduce tobacco in Spanish ports.
