There are couple of possibilities, but it
is said that beggars in Spain was the one who invented cigarettes. It was 1614
in Seville Spain who collected scraps of cigars and rolled tobacco up in papers.
There were people who used pipes to smoke but the cigarettes that we see today
were actually created by the beggars in Spain. The reason why the pipe
cigarettes were turned into paper based was that the consumption rate was
starting to go high and the cost of tobacco leaves and the cigarette was
starting to go high. It was 1880 that
the machine to roll the cigarettes was patented. In England, smoking used with
pipes was popular, but as the time goes on and the world became global, the
paper based cigarettes became popular.

Hi Mitsu,
ReplyDeleteWhen researching the answers to your research questions, it's important to cite the source of the information you gathered. Otherwise, you're asking us to just take on trust the information you've provided. In this seminar, we're practicing research skills such as finding authoritative sources and properly citing them in MLA style, just like we practiced in class last week.
Cheers,

Hello Mitsu.
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought about the origin of the cigarette, so I found this entry very interesting. Try citing your information next time to give evidence that your infomation is reliable.
I also wonder why paper based cigarettes became more popular. Is there some sort of reason why it became like this.
