[edit] Challenge to idea that tobacco came to Turkey from the Western Hemisphere

The root article on tobacco under Etymology indicates that there may well have been a plant (or varieties thereof) that not only had the name but also had the characteristics of the plant introduced in bulk from America after 1492, already living and cultivated in the Muslim world and possibly most of Asia.
