Tobacco was first introduced in the USA in the sixteenth century when it was commonly smoked in pipes by men. Later snuff-taking and cigar smoking became popular among men but it was the invention of cigarette-making machines in the latter part of the nineteenth century that made mass consumption of tobacco possible.By 1919, more tobacco was sold
