Who invented cigarettes? Who will tell me?
Cigarettes were invented by the Mayans.

As early as 4,000 years ago, the Mayans living in Mexico today began to smoke. At that time, Latin Americans were still in a period when gathering and hunting were the main production activities. When people pick and taste plants, they can taste the spicy tongue of tobacco with intoxicating aroma, which can refresh themselves and be used as stimulants. But the more times you chew, the more you gradually become a hobby. The cultivation and smoking of tobacco has taken the first step in human life. Even if they didn't call cigarettes at that time.

Then in 1492, after Columbus discovered the new continent, some Spanish and Portuguese sailors brought the habit of smoking back to Europe.
