Jamestown was settled by people looking to make a profit. They thought they would find vast riches of gold and silver in the area, but they didn't, it was farther south near the areas of the Aztecs and Incas. The northern native peoples grew tabacco and when the Europeans took it back as part of their trading it became very popular. It became the cash crop of the northern Americas. Tabacco is, obviously, still popular today, but even back then it was acknowledge by some to be not so good. King James called it a 'filthy habit."

Jamestown was originally settled by men who were looking for gold, but they ended up making more money selling tobacco. They were the drug lords of their day.

The people were seeking to make money. They thought they would find gold. Instead, they made tremendous money off of tobacco, and so it became their "gold."
It was grown in the streets of Jamestown. Its growth there and exportation back to Europe was, to my knowledge, the introduction of tobacco to European culture.

Not sure of your question but they grew it there so it shouldn't be difficult.
