yo king james the 1st said this about tobacco:

"It makes a man sober that was drunke. It refreshes a weary man, and yet makes a man hungry.
Being taken when they goe to bed, it makes one sleepe soundly, and yet being taken when a man
is sleepie and drowsie, it will, as they say, awake his braine, and quicken his understanding.
As for curing of the Pockes, it serves for that use but among the pockie Indian slaves. Here in
England it is refined, and will not deigne to cure heere any other than cleanly and gentlemanly diseases."

the wiki on the history of smoking is "lit" heh
