There is no SAFE form of tobacco!
Staying tobacco free is the best way to protect your health. Tobacco hurts and kills people. In fact, smoking causes about 1 out of every 5 deaths in the United States. There are many forms of tobacco on the market, and people often think some forms are safe and don’t cause health problems. This isn’t true!
Other tobacco products, like e-cigarettes, hookahs, edibles, heat-not-burn cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco, contain some of the same chemicals as regular combustible cigarettes. It’s important to know that even though e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies them as “tobacco products.”(Is Any Type of Tobacco Product Safe?)
