Word origin
The word 'cigarette' originated from the French word 'cigarette', meaning 'small cigar'. Cigarettes have been smoked for centuries, but the modern commercial cigarette as we know it today was popularized in the late 19th century. The mass production and marketing of cigarettes led to their widespread use and eventually to a better understanding of the health risks associated with smoking.
