Answers:

Cigarettes were created to appeal to people's sense that the world was getting faster during the industrial revolution. They were marketed as smaller versions of cigars, to be consumed when someone had a shorter period of leisure, allowing the smoker to partake in their ritual, without devoting as much time as a cigar or even the packing of a pipe, both activities being highly ritualised. Needless to say they caught on. Larger amounts of chemicals have since been added to increase the burn speed and stop them going out.

I don't know about the environmental impact of growing tobacco, but no one is going to try to argue this pastime is anything but toxic to lifeforms and the environment.



The Native Americans were smoking wild tobacco when the Europeans came to North America.
Europeans cultivated it, transplanted it to the Carribean and made it into the cigarettes we have today, although back then you had to roll your own cigs. You bought the paper and tobacco separately. You see them do it in westerns.



I'm not sure exactly to answer any of your questions, but their are 4,000 chemicals in the cigarette, and 43 chemicals in the smoke alone.
