Statistically, the longer you use any form of tobacco product, the more likely you are to develop the cancers most common for that kind of product. That does not mean that occasional use is safe. For one thing, some people are more prone to developing cancers than others. There is much we do not know. If you are not yet addicted to nicotine, we would suggest not becoming so.

Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals! More than 50 of these chemicals are known or suspected to cause cancer.

∙ 14y agoThe consensus is smokeless tobacco can be just as harmful as smoking tobacco. It isn't fully understood how much worse or if at all. What causes the cancer from smoking is the carcinogen's. It doesn't matter if smoke comes from a burning house, campfire or a cigarette, there is always a chance of dying when you inhale it, Tobacco companies add chemicals like pesticides and other additives to make it taste different. Nicotine, which is the main ingredient in all cigarettes, produces the nicotine buzz and is highly addictive. Smoking a cigarette or two will not cause you much harm, but if you continue to smoke cigarettes the addiction begins to set in. This will continue to grow until your body become dependant on the nicotine intake. This will increase your chances of getting cancer and other diseases. Cigarettes are estimated to kill about 438,000 Americans per year. It is not good for your body to ingest the 4000 toxins in tobacco cigarettes.
