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).
