    <noun.artifact>


    Tobacco \To*bac"co\, n. [Sp. tabaco, fr. the Indian tabaco the
    tube or pipe in which the Indians or Caribbees smoked this
    plant. Some derive the word from Tabaco, a province of
    Yucatan, where it was said to be first found by the
    Spaniards; others from the island of Tobago, one of the
    Caribbees. But these derivations are very doubtful.]

    Nightshade family, much used for smoking and chewing, and

    acrid taste.

    Note: The name is extended to other species of the genus, and
    to some unrelated plants, as Indian tobacco ({Nicotiana
    rustica}, and also {Lobelia inflata}), mountain tobacco
    ({Arnica montana}), and Shiraz tobacco ({Nicotiana
    Persica}).

    etc., by being dried, cured, and manufactured in various
