Can different brands of cigarettes contain variant levels of cancer causing agents?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably, but...: The really nasty cancer-causing chemicals are generated in the burning process, in the smoke. It's a good thing to stop smoking, and if a person cannot do this altogether, chewing is one alternative that's saved many lives though there are still risks.
