Tobacco in Mexico – statistics & facts
Originally from the Americas, the tobacco plant was likely used ages ago by natives in religious ceremonies or medical treatments. In the modern era, social tobacco usage has turned into a global market of more than one billion smokers. Each year, over 3.5 million hectares of tobacco are harvested around the world. Although several non-American countries rank among today’s top global tobacco producers, Brazil, Argentina, and the United States still hold relevant positions on the list.
