**Smoking** is a practice in which a substance, most commonly [|tobacco] or [|cannabis], is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. This is primarily practised as a [|route of administration] for [|recreational drug use], as [|combustion] releases the [|active substances] in drugs such as [|nicotine] and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. It can also be done as a part of rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment. The most common method of smoking today is through [|cigarettes], primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and[|rolling paper]. Other smoking implements include [|pipes], [|cigars], [|bidis], [|hookahs], [|vaporizers], and [|bongs]. It has been suggested that smoking-related disease kills one half of all long term smokers but these diseases may also be contracted by non-smokers. A 2007 report states that about 4.9 million people worldwide each year die as a result of smoking.[|[1]] Smoking is one of the most common forms of recreational drug use. [|Tobacco smoking] is today by far the most popular form of smoking and is practiced by over one billion people in the majority of all human societies. Less common drugs for smoking include [|cannabis] and [|opium]. Some of the substances are classified as hard [|narcotics], like heroin, but the use of these is very limited as they are often not commercially available. The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies; as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals or to allow [|shamans] and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment. After the European exploration and conquest of the Americans, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In regions like India and [|Subsaharan Africa], it merged with existing practices of smoking (mostly of cannabis). In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown. Perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another; holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar, a [|panacea] and deadly health hazard. Only relatively recently, and primarily in industrialized Western countries, has smoking come to be viewed in a decidedly negative light. Today medical studies have proven that smoking tobacco is among the leading causes of many diseases such as lung cancer, [|heart attacks], [|COPD], [|erectile dysfunction] and can also lead to [|birth defects]. The inherent health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on tobacco products and anti-smoking campaigns are launched every year in an attempt to curb tobacco smoking.
