Birth of the cigarette in warfare and tobacco spread story
The article traces tobacco use from ancient times to its adoption in tobacco papers by Mehemet Ali and artillery crews during the Acre siege. A Turkish officer’s narghile smoke inspired soldiers to roll tobacco in spills, producing the first cigarettes. The habit then spread from Cairo to European capitals via diplomacy and reached Russia by the 1840s, blending Turkish and American tobaccos.
