Brief History of Tobacco in Illinois

The tobacco industry in Illinois has undergone significant changes over the years:

  • Civil War Era: During the Civil War, tobacco was considered essential for soldiers, providing comfort during tough times.
  • Growth in Production: By 1879, Adams County had become a major tobacco producer, with five factories employing around 1,200 people.
  • Changing Trends: In the early 1900s, anti-smoking movements gained traction, but World War I reignited tobacco use as soldiers returned home.
