Cigar smoking also increases the risk of lung and heart diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and myocardial infarction respectively.

CHEWING TOBACCO

Chewing tobacco is used by putting a wad of tobacco inside the cheek. Chewing tobacco and snuff contain 28 cancer-causing agents.

Chewing tobacco is more addictive because it contains higher levels of addictive nicotine than cigarettes and can be harder to quit than cigarettes.

The most common sign of possible cancer in smokeless tobacco users is leukoplakia, a white scaly patch or lesion inside the mouth or lips, common among many chewing tobacco users. Red sores are also a warning sign of cancer. Studies have found that 60 to 78 percent of chewing tobacco users have oral lesions.

Long-term snuff users have a 50 percent greater risk of developing oral cancer than non-users, and chewing tobacco users are more likely to become cigarette smokers.

Chewing tobacco has been known to cause cancer, particularly of the mouth and throat. Smokeless tobacco is a major cause of oral cancer, pancreatic cancer, and esophageal cancer.

PIPE / HOOKAH SMOKING

100 to 200 times the smoke of a single cigarette and in a 45-minute smoking session a typical smoker would inhale 1.7 times the nicotine of a single cigarette.

The water moisture induced by the hookah makes the smoke less irritating and may give a false sense of security and reduce concerns about true health effects.

A study in the Journal of Periodontology found that water pipe smokerswere five times more likely than non-smokers to show signs of gumdisease. Hookah smokers were nearly 6-times at risk for development oflung cancer as compared to healthy non-smokers in Kashmir (India).
