Where did tobacco originate from? We already know that processed tobacco comes from the tobacco plant, most commonly Nicotiana tabacum. Plants from the Nicotiana family originated from both North and South America, Australia, Africa and the South Pacific.

Christopher Columbus was the first European to be introduced to the plant on his first voyage to the New World.
