History l Tobacco is a plant that was originally native to the Americas, and many Native Americans thought of the plant as a gift from the "Great Spirit" and used it in religious ceremonies. Rodrigo de Jerez, a Spanish explorer, brought tobacco back to Spain in the early 1500's, where the habit of smoking became popular very quickly. As it became more popular, its value skyrocketed, and tobacco was used as money in the early American Colonies. 3 3 Retrieved on December 2, 2009 from 3 InTheKnowZone Tobacco History. http://www.intheknowzone.com/tobacco/history.htm.http://www.intheknowzone.com/tobacco/history.htm
