Tobacco is an Human agricultural product processed from the fresh leaves of plants in the genus Nicotiana. Its most common usage is for smoking (tobacco smoking) in the form of a cigarette or cigar. Even in the 26th Century, tobacco is still an important commercial commodity, used in cigars, cigarettes, and the fillings of pipes. Tobacco is commercially available almost everywhere in dried, cured, and natural forms. Some humans are also known to enjoy tobacco gum, a chewing substance used as an alternative to smoked tobacco.[1]

Although not native to Earth, Hookah tobacco is used by San 'Shyuum as a stimulant.[2]

Cigars

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. The English cigar comes from the Spanish cigarro, which in turn derives from the Mayan word for tobacco, siyar. Cigar tobacco was once grown in significant quantities in Brazil, Cameroon, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua, the Philippines, and the United States. Cigars from Cuba were particularly famous.

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 Defense Force.

Cigarettes

Cigarettes are another tobacco product. Like cigars, humans have smoked cigarettes for centuries.

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 elminating the need for external flammable implements; these cigarettes are popular among the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.[3] Cigarettes requiring traditional means of ignition are also available.[4] The UNSC Defense Force issues cigarette consumption ordinances.[4]

Tobacco gum

Tobacco gum is a type of a chewing substance that is commonly used as an alternative to cigarettes. It is considered contraband within the UNSC Defense Force. Nonetheless, tobacco gum is popular among UNSC aviators. The substance may be similar in concept to chewing tobacco.[5]
