Tobacco smoking is the practice of burning tobacco and inhaling or absorbing the resulting smoke into the body, most commonly through cigarettes. Originating in Mesoamerica and South America as early as 5000–3000 BC, the practice spread globally following European colonization in the 17th century. Today, cigarette smoking is widely recognized as a major public health hazard and a leading cause of preventable disease and death worldwide.
