Exposure to the cancer causing elements in tobacco products accounts for approximately one third of all cancer deaths in the United States each year.

Cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoking, chewing tobacco, snuff, and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS or secondhand smoke) are all connected to increased cancer risks.

Cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoking have been linked to cancers of the lung, mouth, bladder, colon, kidney, throat, nasal cavity, voice box, esophagus, lip, stomach, cervix, liver, and pancreas, and with leukemia; smokeless tobacco has been linked to cancers of the mouth; and ETS has been implicated in lung cancer.

Cigarette smoke contains more than one hundred cancer-causing substances. The risk for cancers of the mouth, voice box, and esophagus is further increased among smokers who also drink more than two drinks/day.
