Rod Tobacco
The Latin name of the Tobacco genus - "Nicotiana", immortalized the name of the French diplomat of the 16th century, Jean Villeman Nico, who almost five centuries ago brought tobacco from Lisbon to France. Snuff fell to the taste of the French nobility and began to slowly conquer European territories.
Peter the first brought tobacco to Russia. And he began to use barbaric methods to accustom the Russian nobles to it. For three centuries, the Russians have become so involved in the process of smoking tobacco that now they have to fight its existence with barbaric methods. So, by methods of trial and error, Humanity is moving into a bright future.
Of the seventy species of herbaceous plants of the genus, which are perennial in nature, some began to be grown by humans as annuals.
