Smoking

Smoking is the #1 cause of preventable death in the United States.

Smoking cigarettes or using smokeless tobacco (also called dip, snuff or chew) is one of the worst things you can do to your body.
Smoking damages nearly every organ in the body, including your heart, and causes heart disease and cancer.
Chewing tobacco may lead to cancer of the mouth and to an addiction because of the nicotine that is absorbed through the mouth's lining.
Cigarette smoking by pregnant women may cause harm to the baby (fetus).
