Today in 1492 Christopher Columbus noted in his journal the use of tobacco among native Americans - the first recorded reference to tobacco, which was brought to Europe by a French ambassador, Jacques Nicot, hence nicotine. Of course, in these enlightened times we are aware of the dangers of tobacco, and so quite sensibly the Scottish Executive must protect us from our own dim-wittedness by outlawing the smoking of the evil weed in public.
