Original Title: TIL modern smoking originated in the Americas. In Eurasia, cannabis was common before the arrival of tobacco but inhaled indirectly, not smoked. Evidence of direct smoking before the 16th century is contentious – pipes dated 10th-12th centuries from Africa might have been used to smoke cannabis.
