Smoking tobacco goes back thousands of years. Tobacco smoking with pipes and cigars was common to many Native American cultures prior to the arrival of European explorers. The practice is depicted in early Mayan art dating back to around 1,500 years ago. The Maya were also known to use tobacco as an all-purpose medicinal antidote, and the crop was widely believed to possess magical powers as its usage has been documented in ancient ceremonial sacrifices and divinations as well as in talismans.
The time has come for it to stop!

Tobacco chewing was in practice to postpone hunger while travelling. just as man learnt roasting and cooking of flesh by tasting accidentallyburnt . roasred flesh of animals, man gotintosmoking habit when he inhales tobacco smoke by chance.
I PRAY GOD TO RELIEVE THIS WORLD FROM THE SMOKERS.
