How many carcinogens are in smokeless tobacco?

Answer 1

There are currently 69 known carcinogens in a single puff of cigarette smoke. Go D.A.R.E.!

The IARC, part of the World Health Organisation, lists nearly 1,000 carcinogens. The vast majority of these are in the (smoke-free) 'fresh air' we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the prescription drugs we take, are produced endogenously by the human body, are present in the personal hygiene and cosmetic products we use and the products we clean our houses with.........

Answer 2

It depends. Like all plants, tobacco absorbs carcinogens from the environment and it depends which are present in the local soil and atmosphere. The use of fertilisers, pesticides, etc. may introduce further carcinogens, be it a tomato plant or a tobacco plant. All species of plants naturally produce allelochemicals, chemicals to ward off pests, to help them reproduce, etc. Very little research has been made into them.

To complicate matters, there are various classifications of carcinogens - known/probable/possible, to humans/rodents etc.

Although different brands do have a slightly different amount it should be around 28. Not to make it sound like it is harmless but its alot better than 400 you get from cigarettes.
