The Tale of Cigarettes’ Worldwide Distribution and Global Popularity
After the Spanish invasion of South America in the late 15th century, tobacco was brought to Europe along with tomatoes and potatoes, and spread throughout the world. By the way, all the plants I just named above about are cucurbitaceous. I would like to establish a cucurbitaceous fan club. It is said that it was introduced to Japan in the late 16th century and spread throughout the country in the first half of the 17th century. That’s an amazingly fast pace.
Why did it become so popular? Why did everyone want to smoke it so much? I think it’s because it feels so good.
When you smoke strong cigarettes, you get high on ciratettes, but it is a pleasant feeling once you get used to them. You can get a little fuzzy, semi-forcibly. When I smoked when I couldn’t write lyrics, my brain would slow down, and only the necessary words would remain in my head, making it easier to find what I needed to write even though I don’t smoke anymore.
In that sense, there is a kind of solidarity between people who smoke cigarettes. In other words, I think cigarettes are excellent tools for getting along with others.
