Since tobacco reached India in 1605, tobacco production began in the country. The first bidis were invented by workers of the tobacco farms who rolled tobacco into leaves. From the 1930s, when the demand for tobacco products increased worldwide, bidi production also experienced an enormous upswing. The reason for this unprecedented development was also the policy of Gandhi, who politically supported Indian products and domestic industry. Intellectuals and educated Indians soon preferred to smoke beedies instead of cigarettes in order to send a visible signal against imported goods and British influence.
