Preferred term

U.S. policies regulating tobacco  

Definition

  • Not long after the introduction of tobacco from the Americas to Europe there were warning calls to avoid its use. The best known of these early anti-tobacco cries came from King James I of England with his 1604 “counter-blaste.” During the course of the 17th century, both in Europe and in the American colonies, many prohibitory pronouncements and laws were issued.
