Interesting Trivia about Tobacco and Cigarettes

We don’t often stop to think about the everyday products we use and how they have come to this point in history. For example, while these days it may be most convenient to simply buy cigarettes online, in the past they were sold and even distributed in a very different manner.

Here are some interesting facts and trivialities about tobacco and cigarettes.

• 
  
  Native Americans from the Cree tribal nation traded tobacco pipes with other tribes as a form of currency. Tobacco smoking amongst these peoples was a ceremonial pastime reserved for important occasions.

• 
  
  Tobacco for human enjoyment was introduced England by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 1600’s. The monarch of the time, King James I, opposed its use and trade with vigour– but in this, he apparently had little ultimate say.

• 
  
  As much as twenty percent of a cigarette’s content is sugar, despite the fact that cigarettes contain as many as four thousand distinct chemical ingredients.
• 
  
  Cigarettes are sold in tobacconists, are easy to buy in service stations and supermarkets, and it’s even easier to buy cigarettes online. One trillion cigarettes are sold worldwide each year, in an industry worth $400 billion.
• 
  
  Men smoke cigarettes much more than women do in every nation of the world, with the exception of one: the United States. Women and men smoke in almost even numbers in this country.
• 
  
  Some smokers choose menthol or “lite” cigarettes as they believe they’re a “healthier” option. This is not the case. People who smoke these “lite” cigarettes most commonly find they draw on the cigarette harder, ultimately consuming just as much nicotine and tar as they would if smoking a regular cigarette.
• 
  
  We are fortunate here in Australia that we can buy cigarettes online which are legitimately sold; as many as twenty-five percent of cigarettes sold globally are in fact smuggled across borders.
• 
  
  Cigarettes are the world’s most popular placebos. People who smoke and are addicted to nicotine and the practice of smoking crave the relief they get from a cigarette. It satisfies the brain’s yearning for nicotine, which can both stimulate and relax, depending on the person.
• 
  
  Spices and other “toppings” are traditionally blended with tobacco to enhance its flavour; different tobacco varieties have differing tastes as well. Some of these include dill seed, oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, orange oil, mint, vanilla, rum, and liquorice.

Whenever you buy tobacco online, remember you need to provide proof of age to make a purchase.
