Big picture

Time period Development summary More details
Before 1880 Pre-cigarette era Tobacco is grown as early as in 6000 BC in the Americas. The European colonization of the Americas introduces tobacco in the Old continent. Policies against smoking already appear in the sixteenth century. Addiction is an early found health consequence. By the 18th and 19th century, smoking bans and prohibitions become rare, and trade in tobacco becomes an important source of revenue for monarchs and leaders.[1]
1880 onwards Cigarette era Mass production of cigarettes begins after James Albert Bonsack invention of his cigarette rolling machine, which would allow production and consumption to grow tremendously until the health revelations of the late 20th century.
1950s onwards Tobacco and disease Since the 1950s, increased evidence is found linking smoking to cancer, especially lung cancer. Research on health effects of passive smoking also increases.

Summary by decade

Time period Development summary
1920s A rise of lung cancer prompts epidemiologic research on its causes in the United States and Europe. Initial studies find an association between lung cancer and tobacco smoking.[2]
1930s Scholars and activists in the United States become aware of increasing cancer death rates.[2] Researchers begin to investigate the relationship using the methods of case-control epidemiology.
1940s Cigarettes start being recognized as the cause of the emerging lung cancer epidemic, a very rare disease in the past.[3]
1950s Epidemiologic evidence on lung cancer and smoking becomes abundant and coherent. By the late decade, the amassing evidence that smoking causes lung cancer calls for public health action.[2][4]
1960s Surveys of physicians continue to show decreasing prevalence of smoking and acceptance of the hazards of cigarette smoking.[2]
1970s Researchers find solid evidence that tobacco smoking is addictive, and this behavior is found to resemble other drugs.[2]
1980s Surveys in the United States suggest that only 5–10% of physicians smoke.[2] An increasing number of lawsuits are filed against the tobacco industry because of the harmful effects of its products. Smoking becomes politically incorrect, with more public places forbidding smoking.[4] The tobacco industry starts marketing heavily in areas outside the U.S., especially developing countries in Asia.[4]
1990s An increasing majority of the public in Western Countries acknowledge that cigarette smoking is harmful to health.[2]
2000s Smoking rates decline in multiple countries around the world.[5][6][7]

However, the stress levels of adult smokers are slightly higher than those of nonsmokers, adolescent smokers report increasing levels of stress as they develop regular patterns of smoking, and smoking cessation leads to reduced stress. Far from acting as an aid for mood control, nicotine dependency seems to exacerbate stress. This is confirmed in the daily mood patterns described by smokers, with normal moods during smoking and worsening moods between cigarettes. Thus, the apparent relaxant effect of smoking only reflects the reversal of the tension and irritability that develop during nicotine depletion. Dependent smokers need nicotine to remain feeling normal."[46]

THS is thought to potentially cause the greatest harm to infants and young children because younger children are more likely to put their hands in their mouths or be cuddled up to a smoker with toxins on their skin and clothes. Infants also crawl on the floor and eat from their hands without washing them first, ingesting the toxins into their still developing systems.[101][102]

2016 Third-hand smoke Research A study is done to look at how long third-hand smoke (THS) stay in three different fabrics over a timespan of 72 hours and post washing. The three different fiber types include wool, cotton, and polyester. Levels of THS are measured using a self-designed surface acoustic wave gas sensor (SAW) which measures a frequency change when a compound is laid down on the surface of the sensor. The results of this study find that third-hand smoke tends to stay in wool the most right after smoking and polyester the least. Wool has the slowest desorption while polyester has the fastest. Also, the study concludes that even though doing laundry and washing these fibers with detergent is an effective way to get rid of some of the smoke, there is still a remaining THS residue left on all the fibers.[139]

The Russian prohibition lasted almost the entire seventeenth century, staying in place for seventy years, longer than anywhere else in the world. [...] Russia's reaction to tobacco was unique.
