Pipe smokers (fumadores de cachimbo)

The use of pipe for smoking tobacco was common in some tribes of Native Americans from areas where the plant grew wild. In Europe and the Middle East the pipe was used to smoke Indian hemp before the appearance of tobacco.

O uso do cachimbo para fumar tabaco era frequente em algumas tribos de nativos americanos de regiões onde a planta cresce espontaneamente. Na Europa e Médio Oriente serviu para fumar cânhamo indiano antes da introdução do tabaco.
