Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who was responsible for opening the "New World" to European colonization in 1492. This was the first contact that Europe had had with the Caribbean, Central and South America. Columbus's voyages were sponsored by the Catholic Kings of Spain, Isabella and Ferdinand.

Answer:
The correct answer is C ''focus on the social advantages to smoking.''
