OK.. seems I'm mis-lead...
Bewitching Vegetable is waht they Called it.
.. but the Word for it was different...
My Point still stands though that it is the greatest Revenge they could have exacted on us.
I found various origins for the word Tobacco... from the Pipe itself, to a bundle of the leaves..
tobacco - 1588, from Sp. tabaco, in part from an Arawakan (probably Taino) language of the Caribbean, said to mean "a roll of tobacco leaves" (according to Las Casas, 1552) or "a kind of pipe for smoking tobacco" (according to Oviedo), but Sp. tabaco (also It. tabacco) was a name of medicinal herbs from c.1410, from Arabic tabbaq, attested since 9c. as the name of various herbs. So the word may be a European one transferred to an American plant. Cultivation in France began 1556 with an importation of seed by Andre Thevet; introduced in Spain 1558 by Francisco Fernandes. Tobacconist "dealer in tobacco" first attested 1657; earlier meaning was "person addicted to tobacco" (1549).
Upon further research BTW.. the actual word for it is uyë'kwa'ôwe
