Years: 1696 - 1707

Tobacco is frequently mixed with other herbs at this time (this practice will continue with clove cigarettes to the modern day), and opium is one component in the mixture.

Tobacco mixed with opium is called madak (or madat) and had become popular throughout China and its seafaring trade partners (such as Taiwan, Java and the Philippines) in the seventeenth century.
