Yes, can be likely.: Smoking is a major risk factor for squamous esophageal cancer. Alcohol use is another major risk factor, and the combination with smoking is synergistic, or greater than the sum risk for both.

Absolutely: Tobacco smoking is one of the most important risk factors for upper esophagus cancers, also known as squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. It is also the most preventable cause of lung cancer. I strongly urge you to abstain from tobacco smoking.

TOB and esophageal: If you are asking you must be having some symptoms.Smoking does increase the risk of throat and esphageal cancer as does drinking.Tobacco in multiple forms can be linked with all different kinds of cancer. But long and short, if you are having problems please seek help early rather than later.
