Some of these methods and products hail from the past when cigarettes were not readily available but they’ve managed to survive to this day and still have a large user base.
There is a good variety of tobacco products and while cigarettes are the most popular they are by no means the only possible method of inhaling tobacco smoke. In fact, while some studies show that, while nicotine might cause cancer, it is possibly one the least cancerogenic ingredients that are added in cigarettes. Nicotine is a dangerously addictive drug but when absorbed through a cigarette or any other smoking equivalent the effects can be devastating because it’s not the only substance that is absorbed. All of these mentioned ingredients have been found to cause cancer along with more than 55 other ingredients commonly found in cigarettes.Ĭigarette smoking has been found to increase likelihood of cancer affecting all systems and organs in human body: In addition to highly addictive nicotine, smokers can also inhale anywhere from 4,800 to 7,000 other chemicals – depending on what is inside their cigarette! These chemicals are a byproduct of over 600 different ingredients found in every cigarette and most other tobacco products. Smoking tobacco products carry with them an increased health risk. Still, research that was conducted in the past shows that close to 80% of smokers live in those parts of the world and that they are predominantly in lower and middle-income countries. The number is hard to assess correctly because we’ve been seeing a slight decline of tobacco use in the western countries (so called 1st world countries) but no reliable data can be obtained for the rest of the world – namely, 3rd world and developing countries. There are other delivery methods, such as chewing tobacco and replacement e-cigarettes but it’s estimated that close to 1 billion people still smoke worldwide. Smoking is by far the most common way people indulge in tobacco and feed their nicotine addiction.
