Tobacco
Although he was a quack known for selling dubious remedies, Hill may have been the first to associate the use of tobacco with cancer. There is a paper about this, I will try and get access. Skeptic from Britain (talk) 14:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Kew
Apparently the guy did the first edition of the Hortus Kewensis at the behest of the royal family. Should prolly be mentioned somewhere in the article. — Llywelyn II   03:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
