Tobacco Products

Tobacco products include items made from the leaves of the tobacco plant, commonly smoked or chewed. The main categories are cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, and smokeless tobacco (like chewing tobacco and snuff). These products contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance, along with various harmful chemicals. Using tobacco is linked to serious health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Public health efforts often focus on reducing tobacco use due to its significant impact on individual and societal health. Awareness campaigns and regulations aim to educate people about the risks and encourage cessation.
