Tobacco—its Arabic Name

By M. D.

One of your correspondents, A.C.M. (Vol. ii., p. 155.), wishes to know what is the Arabic word for *tobacco* used in Sale's *Koran*, ed. 8vo. p. 169. Perhaps, if he will refer to the chapter and verse, or even specify *which* is the 8vo. edition which he quotes, some of your correspondents may be able to answer his Query.
