9. Nicotine This name for the “poisonous addictive chemical in tobacco smoke” is derived from Jean Nicot, a French diplomat, scholar, and lexicographer who introduced tobacco to France from Portugal where he served as French ambassador in the mid-16th century. Nicot believed tobacco had medical properties and actively advocated its use in the French society, particularly among the French elite. He became wildly popular in France in his time as a result of the acceptance of tobacco by the French nobility. Everyday Iten @Op u b ganja man? Just wondering...any tnks for d educative thread! |
