Not from this: Accident. Accidental entry of tobacco in your eye is not likely to cause cancer. However, if you are using tobacco in any form, you are increasing your risk of multiple cancers and if you are using tobacco, please quit asap.

Tobacco in eye: Getting tobacco in the eye will not cause eye cancer. Just flush it out with artificial tears and it should not cause any problem.
