Solution

The correct option is B Jahangir
Tobacco use was a novelty in the first decade of the 17th century. But, its use became widespread by 1617, not only among the nobility but even among the common people. Jahangir had to issue a decree forbidding the smoking of tobacco to protect the health of the people and control the habit.
