CAVEMEN puffed away on fags and also smoked weed, scientists claim.
Charred tobacco seeds were found at a settlement from 12,300 years ago.
It was previously believed humans did not smoke until the Ancient Greeks 2,500 years ago.
Evidence also suggests early man got high for days smoking a cannabis-style plant called “devil’s weed”.
It may have helped them chill out in a dangerous world populated by giant birds and bears.
It probably gave them the munchies as well, as they also consumed a “high-calorie food package, usually hunted”.
The site in Utah is far from where tobacco grew, suggesting it was one of the first plants we cultivated and carried around.
