title: Tobacco and otorhinolaryngology: epic and disaster.
abstract: More than 500 papers are retrieved from the PubMed database by the keywords "Tobacco" and "Otorhinolaryngology", none of which, however, is devoted to the history of a plant that has a major impact on our specialty and practice. The present report describes and analyzes how tobacco conquered the world, the conflicts it triggered and the impact it has had in our field over the past centuries.
