Tobacco consumption and exposure come in many forms: cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cigars, and second-hand smoke. No matter what your source of tobacco exposure is, it is all bad. The many tobacco-related injuries a person can suffer are serious, deadly, and varied. These injuries are long-lasting and a painful daily reminder of the highly addictive nature of nicotine.
