Summary/Abstract: This article examines tobacco and tobacco smoking in the Ottoman Time. There was a continuing debate about whether or not tobacco smoking was allowed in Islam. It is interesting to see that tobacco smoking increased. During that time another issue was that careless smoking caused fire and threatened public order in Istanbul. As a result of this, the State prohibited smoking tobacco by law. This restriction was implemented strictly and those who did not obey the law were punished severely, including the death penalty. In the Ottoman poem, tobacco smoking was worked out extensively. This article reviewed 250 Divan Poems on tobacco and tobacco consumption. These poems were categorised by two groups: The firs group reviews the comfort of tobacco smoking. The second group looks at the prohibition of tobacco smoking.
