History Rhymes Podcast
Welcome to History Rhymes, a podcast dedicated to exploring patterns in history. This podcast will be devoted to providing well researched, long form, historical deep dives on a variety of topics, and the first topic I want to tackle is the history of drugs. New episodes coming soon! History rarely repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
This is the final episode in my three part series on the History of Tobacco. In this episode I conclude Tobaccos story, and bring home the history of this drug to the present day. We talk about the origins of the first paper cigarettes, the rise of Big Tobacco, and how the cigarette came to be as we know it today. Big Tobacco competes with itself, but soon it will have to compete with the Anti-Tobacco Movement in a fight for survival. Along the way Tobacco touches almost everything we know in the world today. This is Tobaccos big finale.

This is the second episode in a three part series on the history of Tobacco. In this episode, I delve deeper into tobacco's story on its quest for world fame. I discuss Tobaccos introduction to Europe as an herbal medicine, the rise of snuff to replace smoking, as well as Tobaccos role in the American revolution. All of this leads up to the smoking of the worlds first paper cigarette on a Tobacco factory floor, when the papelote was invented.

This is the first episode in a three part series on the history of tobacco. In this episode, I tell the story one of the most popular and famous drugs in the world: Tobacco. I explore tobaccos tribal and shamanistic origins in North and South America, the first ever Europeans to smoke tobacco, and the worlds first tobacco prohibition. Long before cigarettes, the first Europeans to witness Tobacco lacked the terms to describe it. They referred to what the natives were smoking as 'Paper Muskets.'
