These days, the term smoking is generally associated with smoking a cigarette or a cigar. However, the idea of smoking substances has been known to exist as far as 5000 BC. Smoking was common during ceremonies especially in Africa and India. With time it has grown from in the first place natural plant stems and leaves to pipes to now handy and simple cigarettes.
The main reason for a person to smoke is the temporary good feeling that it gives the smoker. The substance giving this feeling may change but tobacco is the most popular substance. Tobacco comes from the leaves of the plants belonging to the species Nicotiana. Smokers find tobacco addictive and enjoy it because of a chemical called nicotine. Other substances include marijuana, steam; normally flavored with tobacco or herbal fruits.
