so you have this kind of almost schizophrenic reaction on the one hand on the frontier they are using it. on the other hand, the early chroniclers are describing tobacco particularly as emblematic of the idolatry of the native americans. and this creates kind of a problem for europeans several decades down the line, are more like a sentry down the line, when tobacco starts being used in europe and they became curious about its origins. they have this kind of print record of describing tobacco as kind of the ultimate idolatry and kind of barbarian behavior. and so they are faced with reconciling their own new habits with the way that they described it earlier on. >> well, when did tobacco catch on in europe? >> there's actually a significant time lag. part of the research that i did for this project, which would have been done before with the kind of systematically look in trade records and see when you start seeing them in a systematic way. so we have evidence that there's kind of erratic and idiosyncratic imports of both of the goods throughout the 16th century, throughout the 1500s.
