Tobacco consumption took many forms before reaching the cigarette of the modern day. Spanish colonists in the New World smoked tobacco as a cigarito: shredded cigar remnants rolled in plant husks, then later in crude paper. In France, the cigarito form was also popular, macanudomaduro especially during the French Revolution. As aristocrats commonly consumed the snuff version of tobacco, the masses chose an opposing form. A moderate improvement to the Spanish cigarito, the French cigarette was rolled in rice straw. In 1832, an Egyptian artilleryman in the Turkish/Egyptian War created the paperbound version of today whose popularity spread to the British through veterans of the Crimean War. In England, a tobacconist named Philip Morris greatly improved the quality of the Turkish cigarette but still maintained only a cottage macanudomaduro industry, despite the cigarette''s growing popularity. macanudomaduro By the 1900s cigarettes rose to the highest selling form of tobacco on the market. Mass urbanization picked up the pace of daily macanudomaduro life and popularized factory-made products such as soap, canned goods, gum, and the cigarette. James A. Bonsack''s newly invented cigarette machine could turn out approximately 200 cigarettes per minute, output equal to that of forty or fifty workers. Cigarettes were now a more convenient form of tobacco consumption--cleaner than snuff or chew, more portable than cigars or pipes--and also were increasingly more available. England''s Philip Morris set macanudomaduro up shop in America as did several other tobacco manufacturers: R.J. Reynolds (1875), J.E. Liggett (1849), Duke (1881, later, the American Tobacco Company), and the oldest tobacco company in the United States, P. Lorillard (1760). The cigarette quickly became enmeshed in American popular culture. In 1913, R.J. Reynolds launched its Camel brand whose instant appeal, notes Richard Kluger in Ashes to Ashes, helped inspire this famous poem from a Penn macanudomaduro State publication: "Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it. / It satisfies no moral need. I like it. / It makes you thin, it makes you lean / It takes the hair right off your bean macanudomaduro / It''s the worst darn stuff I''ve ever seen. / I macanudomaduro like it." Since their introduction, cigarettes have maintained a status as one of the best-selling consumer products in the country. In 1990, 4.4 billion cigarettes were sold in America. That macanudomaduro same year, several states restricted their sale.
It is highly unlikely that in 1881, when James A. Bonsack invented a cigarette-making machine, that he or anybody else could have predicted the mélange of future symbolism contained in each conveniently packaged stick of tobacco. The cigarette has come to stand for more than just the unhealthy habit of millions in American popular culture. It represents politics, money, image, sex, and freedom.
