“Two of its members, Rodrigo de Jerez and the interpreter Luis de Torres, had even gone so far as to try the custom for themselves, thus becoming the first Europeans to smoke tobacco.”
Iain Gately, Tobacco: A Cultural History of How an Exotic Plant Seduced Civilization

“It is ironic that a number of eminent Christians were charged with the care of the same plant whose consumption had been linked with the arch-fiend and enemy of their church.”
Iain Gately, Tobacco: A Cultural History of How an Exotic Plant Seduced Civilization

“The retail price of tobacco, whatever its source, was very high – only the rich could afford such an infallible medicine.”
Iain Gately, Tobacco: A Cultural History of How an Exotic Plant Seduced Civilization
