I found that pipes can be nice, once in a while. I don’t understand the appeal of cigarettes, though.

Peer pressure followed by addiction is my guess.

The plant is native to like Bolivia but had already been spread by people throughout the Caribbean and North America even before Europeans got there which goes to show how beneficial it can be for a plant to be psychoactive to people.
Fun fact; being in the nightshade family, tobacco is also related somewhat closely to plants like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplants.
