Q: Nicotine makes up what percentage of a tobacco plant?
A: Nicotine normally makes up about 5 percent of a tobacco plant by weight.

For thousands of years, people have smoked or chewed the leaves of the tobacco plant, "Nicotiana tabacum". Tobacco was first found and cultivated in the Americas, perhaps as early as 6000 B.C. Following the discovery and colonization of North and South America, the tobacco plant was exported widely, to continental Europe and the rest of the civilized world. Even in its early days, tobacco use was controversial. Some hailed its medicinal properties. For example, tobacco was supposed to be protective against the ravages of the Plague! As early as the 1600s, people speculated that there might be a link between diseases, like cancer, and tobacco use. Since then, modern research methods have provided evidence of this link, and public service announcements that warn of tobacco's health risks and addictive nature are seen regularly on TV.
