Forms of Tobacco

Tobacco can be chewed, smoked, or inhaled. It can be smoked in the form of cigarettes, pipes, or cigars. It can be chewed or inhaled as snuff. This form of tobacco is called smokeless tobacco. Smokeless tobacco has become more popular in the last fifteen years.

The Most common form of the tobacco is the cigarette. In the 1920s, two things happened to revolutionize the cigarette.

First was the invention of a machine that automatically rolled cigareetes. This made cigarettes the most popular way to use tobacco. The second thing that happened in the 1920s was that women began to smoke. Prior to the 1920s, it was socially unacceptable for women to smoke. Since the 1920s, the number of women smokers has increased dramatically.
