The tobacco plant has been used in Native American communities in sacred, traditional and cultural ways prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Early immigrants to North America were introduced to tobacco use by Native Americans and the plant was quickly turned into a commercial success in Europe. Native American images have been used for centuries to commercialize a product that once held only spiritual significance to American Indian tribes. This article provides a history of tobacco, from the sacred use by Native Americans, to the commercialism of tobacco in North America. Included is a review of early to current advertisements using Native American images.
在克里斯托弗·哥伦布到来之前，烟草植物就已在美洲原住民社区以神圣、传统和文化的方式被使用。北美早期的移民被美洲原住民引入了烟草的使用，这种植物很快就在欧洲取得了商业上的成功。几个世纪以来，美洲原住民的形象一直被用于将一种曾经对美洲印第安部落仅具有精神意义的产品商业化。本文提供了烟草的历史，从美洲原住民的神圣使用，到北美烟草的商业化。其中包括对使用美洲原住民形象的早期到当前广告的回顾。
