tobacco field

Where cigarettes begin

A tobacco field is an area of cultivated land where tobacco plants are grown.

The term evokes the agricultural South, where tobacco has been a major crop since colonial times: Workers moved through the tobacco fields in the early morning heat.

The phrase often carries historical weight, associated with plantation labor and the region's economic history.
