You know, tobacco has been there a long time, and we should evaluate from time to time how we are using this things, and what about the effects of it. First, tobacco was used for pleasure and convenience, but today we know that there are unhealthy effects with it.
Tobacco was first discovered by the native people of Mesoamerica and South America and later introduced to Europe and the rest of the world. Archeological finds indicate that humans in the Americas began using tobacco as far back as 12,300 years ago, thousands of years earlier than previously documented.
Tobacco is derived from the leaves of the genus Nicotiana, a plant from the night-shade family, indigenous to North and South America. Archeological studies suggest the use of tobacco in around first century BC, when Maya people of Central America used tobacco leaves for smoking, in sacred and religious ceremonies.
Tobacco and nicotine are harmful if swallowed. Even a small amount can cause problems, even if a child splits it out without swallowing. Children have been known to: Eat Whole cigarettes, cigars or butts. But you should do your own choices in life, and we should have enough science behind the quality and quantity of decisions that are making and taking, also when having this tobacco that are bought and stored in our homes, our cottages, or in foreign hotels. Hotel management is the case, and marketing should be careful and thoughtful, also when planning and implementing actions to do in a hotel, and that have desired effects on brand image and on sales revenues.
If it weren't for nicotine, people wouldn't smoke tobacco. Why? Because of the more than 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, nicotine is the primary one that acts on the brain, altering people's moods, appetites, and alertness in ways they find pleasant and beneficial. As the noted tobacco researcher M.A.H. Russell once wrote: «There is little doubt that if it were not for the nicotine in tobacco smoke, people would be little more inclined to smoke than they are to blow bubbles or to light sparklers».
Many ancient civilizations – such as the Babylonians, the Indians, and the Chinese – burnt incense during religious rituals. Smoking in the Americas probably had its origins in the incense-burning ceremonies of shamans but was later adopted for pleasure or as a social tool. But today, we have even more knowledges and information than ever before, and tobacco is dangerous, and you can die of it, because you can get cancer.
Tobacco use is a learned and socially mediated behavior. Experimenting with tobacco is attractive to children and youths because of associations they learn to make between tobacco use and the kind of social identity they wish to establish. So, first using tobacco was a social issue and a free issue. But today, we know more about it. What are the danger sides of tobacco, even slanted tobacco that you can just taste, and not eat. But there is trouble with any kind of tobacco as we know today.
Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Smoking also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis. So, today we should be open for what we are trying as products and why the reality is like it is. What, why and how are central questions.
