Tobacco

edit

Although he was a quack known for selling dubious remedies, Hill may have been the first to associate the use of tobacco with cancer. There is a paper about this [1], I will try and get access. Skeptic from Britain (talk) 14:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Kew

edit

Apparently the guy did the first edition of the Hortus Kewensis at the behest of the royal family. Should prolly be mentioned somewhere in the article. — LlywelynII 03:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
