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.
