逝世了整整500年的哥伦布,如果能够活到今天,肯定会为他当年“发现”新大陆的壮举沾沾自喜。因为正是从那以后,北美洲开始逐渐成为世界上最发达、最富足的大陆,尽管充满了血腥和暴力。但不知道如果哥伦布看到今天全球11亿烟民中每分钟就有10人因吸烟死亡,他会为他当年的另一举动——将烟草从美洲带到欧洲并传播到全世界——做何感想?在哥伦布死后不到150年,烟草就已风靡全世界。18世纪人们流行鼻烟壶;19世纪是雪茄的年代;20世纪则见证了卷烟的崛起。几个世纪以来,人们改变的只是吸烟的方式,不变的是对烟草的痴迷。 The death of a full 500 years of Columbus, if able to live to this day, will certainly be for his “discovery” of the New World feat complacent. Because it is from that point on that North America has gradually become the most developed and affluent continent in the world, albeit full of bloody and violent acts. But I do not know if Columbus saw 10 people die of smoking every minute of the 1.1 billion smokers worldwide today, another act of his time - to bring tobacco from the Americas to Europe and to the world - to do it What do you think? Tobacco has become popular all over the world less than 150 years after Christopher Columbus died. 18th century popular snuff bottles; the 19th century is the era of cigars; 20th century witnessed the rise of cigarettes. For centuries, people have changed only the way they smoke, the same ones that are obsessed with tobacco.
