A member asked:
What cancers beside lung are associated with tobacco use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Oral, pharyngeal/throat, larynx/voice box, esophagus, pancreas, breast, cervix, urinary bladder and perhaps others. Tobacco/smoking also causes lung disease, heart disease, gangrene, wrinkles and shortens the life by about 10 years compared to non-users.
