Smoking can cause lung and throat cancer, as well as lung problems and yellowing of the teeth. Smokeless tobacco can cause mouth cancer, tooth decay and even stomach ulcers. On our Facebook page we provide facts and show the public what a person looks like after smoking and using chewing tobacco. Our most recent post states: “Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Smoking leads to disease, disability and damages almost every organ in the body (CDC, 2015. Para. 1 and 2). Do you know what you're putting in your body? "Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 compounds known to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and 400 other toxins. These cigarette ingredients include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT . Nicotine is highly addictive,” (Quit Smoking Support, 2016. Par. 1). Smokeless tobacco is equally harmful. Smoking tobacco contains polonium 210 (nuclear waste), N-nitrosamines (carcinogens), formaldehyde (embalming fluid), nicotine (addictive drug), cadmium (used in nuclear reactor batteries and shields), cyanide (poisonous compound), arsenic (poisonous metallic element), benzene (used in insecticides and motor fuels), and lead (nerve poison), (American Academy of Otolaryngology, 2016, Para. 7).
