In the article there is a woodcut noted as a first depiction of a smoking European (1595). Perhaps he is burning cannabis or some other herb, but, in fact, the Chute's 1595 picture can't be counted as an earliest depiction of a smoking European! For example, take a look at the mediaeval picture of a skipper smoking a pipe, showing an amazingly resemblance with modern skippers or fishermens custom. Please take a look at British Library manuscript, #12 Yates Thompson collection (Histoire d’Outremer), dated c. 1232-1261 folio 58v (initial C - Bohemund and Daimbert sailing to Apulia) - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bohemond_daimbert.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.160.202.180 ( talk) 07:42, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

This might be a good place to slip in a nice movie, name of Parrish. Tell all things of Tobacco. Inspiring readers to take a look at the subject. Longinus876 ( talk) 15:26, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to note that there is a typo, instead of saying "use" the article says "us." The typo in question is under the demographic section, in the first sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.248.237 ( talk) 13:02, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Is there a comprehensive article on this subject? These scandals started with the Wall Street Journal and 60 Minutes exposes on Brown & Williamson, included tobacco executives claiming in a U.S. Congressional hearing that tobacco wasn't addictive, and leading to the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. If there's not an article, this is a subject by itself that could be summarized in an article. Also, I'd like to note that the general collection of articles on the history of tobacco and related controversies seem to need a lot of rework/cleanup. (Yes, I can do some of this work myself while noting that it's a big job and many can help out.) Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 13:41, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
This article makes no mention of the arguably important MAOI effects or any mention of the pharmacology. Though most should be covered in nicotine I feel some minor coverage is necessary. Testem ( talk) 23:49, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
The article briefly touches upon the legalization of marijuana and use in the 1990's. Has there been an interest in adding a section for the legalization movement and/or the medical use of marijuana in this section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.74.35.227 ( talk) 23:34, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
I'm updating the article to reflect recent page renames. [1] Sorry, the sources @ Robert the Boof: wants, Awareness Mag and the colonial thing, are not WP:RS. The first one is a personal new age site, and the article is personal observances by someone of unknown notability. Both the new age site and the colonial description of Mi'kmaq people are full of misinformation. I left the colonial source, but cut the offensive quote. Tell us why these sources are good. And why are you wholesale reverting when the changes are not just about that source. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 16:40, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
While it's true that the WHO did classify it as such, a quick check reveals that malnutrition is linked to 3.1 million childhood deaths per year, and an estimated 21,000 deaths per day (or about 7.67 million per year). While figures on adult malnutrition deaths are harder to find, the cited WHO paper (which is far from neutral in tone) gives a figure of 5 million from tobacco. Should this statement stay on the page, or be altered to reflect this? Allan533 ( talk) 01:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
A study by Glasgow University states that nitrate fertilizer causes death in vegetables. Modern fertilizer makes al food grown with it to be cancerous. WHO seems to be controlled by some group/s that don't give a hoot about health. Follow the $$$$ on this group.
