Did you know ?

• That the word Nicotine is derived from the name of the French diplomat, Mr Jean Nicot, who introduced tobacco to France?
• That the concept of the Teddy bear came about after President Theodore Roosevelt spared the life of a young bear while hunting?
• That the guillotine was invented by Joseph Guillotin?
