Many many many kinds: Lung cancer, head and neck cancer (mouth, lips, tongue, nasopharnyx, throat, larynx), esophagus, stomach, bladder and breast are the cancers where there is a strong relationship between smoking and cancer. Adding alcohol to the mix makes head and neck cancer much more common. Cancer of pancreas and kidney, and acute myeloid leukemia are also associated with smoking.
