At first, the ancients used stones as pipes or used small cones to dig two connected holes in the ground. In one of the holes, leaves of plants with fragrance and anesthetic effects are placed, and smokers lie on the edge of the other hole and smoke, or simply scatter these plants in the fire and sit and inhale the burning smoke.
Archaeologists unearthed stone pipes used by the ancients from 3000 BC to 2000 BC in the continental United States. In Egypt, the remains of leaves and pipes were found next to mummies 4,000 years ago. Archaeological traces of the Aztecs and Mayans show that the use of pipelines has become a culture in their lives.
In Aztec life, pipes are not only used for religious ceremonies, but also have social functions and are often shared after meals. This habit spread to the Mayans through the American continent, which made them have such a tradition.
In northern Chile, archaeologists discovered a pipeline made of stone 600 years ago. The shape is two flues and a bucket, which is the same as the pipe made of ceramics from 200 to 400 AD, which fully shows that smoking has a long history.
In the Archaeological Museum in Cordoba, Argentina, there is a mosaic that depicts a Roman smoking a pipe in the second century.
