As far as I know, the cultural roots of tabacco-smoking are in the
southern hemnisphere (South America and Cabbribean Seas), where the
native people smoked it for maybe serveral centuries. And as far as I
know they had no such thing as property...
BTW: Hitler and his compagnions were against cigars and cigarettes -
loss of military power, they said.
Every generation and culture has it drugs - skol !
