'''Tobacco''' is a [[human]] agricultural product processed from the leaves of plants in the genus ''Nicotiana''. Tobacco remains an important commercial commodity in the 26th century and is commercially available in dried, cured, and natural forms. Its most common usage is for smoking in the form of cigars, cigarrettes, and pipes. Tobacco gum, a chewing substance used as an alternative to smoked tobacco, is also commonplace.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 204''</ref>

A cigar is a tightly-rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth. In the 26th century, the [[Sweet William cigar]] is a luxury brand popular among humans. They are especially enjoyed by numerous members of the [[UNSC]], like [[Avery Johnson]].

26th century cigarettes are protected from moisture damage by waterproof seals. Some cigarettes have "ignition ends" which light the cigarette by tapping its end, thus eliminating the need for external flammable implements; these cigarettes are popular among the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', page 168</ref> Cigarettes requiring traditional means of ignition are also available.<ref name="HaloFS_115">'''Halo: First Strike''', page ''115'': ''They flared like the "strike-anywhere" matches the ODSTs used to light their contraband cigarettes.''</ref> The [[UNSC]] issues cigarette consumption ordinances.{{Ref/Reuse|HaloFS_115}}
