Smoking is attested both archeologically, and historiographically dating back something like 7000 years in the old world. People have been smoking opium & marijuana in the middle east for probably 2000 years. Smoking culture in India goes back at least 3000 years. Anyone who's accidentally put the wrong thing on a fire will immediately recognize the source for "smoking".
This makes me feel like the rest of your comment is probably not accurate, either.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoBro. Smoking is not the same as putting the wrong thing on a fire. And, while evidence of hotboxing cannabis in tents goes back 3000 years, there is minimal evidence of pipe smoking in the old world. Maybe a bit in Africa— but not conclusive. No evidence for smoking pipes in India before 1500. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_smoking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_smoking
