Framed Print of Tobacco Plant, Early Syphilis Treatment, 1558
The history of syphilis has been well studied, but the exact origin of the disease is unknown. There are two primary hypotheses: one proposes that syphilis was carried to Europe from the Americas by the crew of Christopher Columbus as a byproduct of the Columbian exchange, while the other proposes that syphilis previously existed in Europe but went unrecognized. These are referred to as the Columbian and pre-Columbian hypotheses. Centuries before its health risks became widely known, smoking tobacco was regarded as a cure for all manner of illnesses, especially syphilis. In addition to syphilis, tobacco was a common folk remedy for a wide range of afflictions including asthma, headache, gout, cramps, female illness, and intestinal parasites. © New York Public Library / Science Source
