Nicotiana tabacum, commonly known as tobacco, is a plant species that belongs to the Solanaceae family. It is primarily known for its highly addictive and psychoactive chemical nicotine, which is found in high concentrations in the plant's leaves. Tobacco has a long history of use, dating back to ancient civilizations such as those of the Maya and Aztec peoples. Today, it remains one of the most widely cultivated crops worldwide and an important source of income for many countries. However, tobacco use also poses significant health risks and is associated with numerous diseases including cancer, respiratory problems, and cardiovascular disease. Despite efforts to reduce smoking rates globally through public health campaigns and regulatory measures, tobacco use continues to be a major public health challenge.
