Health
effects of smoking cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and nicotine
The tobacco risks for each
disease vary according to whether smoke is inhaled or not, and if so, how
often.
Inhaled smoke products
have a much greater risk than non-inhaled cigar and pipe smoke, or smokeless
products.
Pure nicotine such as in patches
or gum, has virtually zero risk. __________________________________________________________
