Smoking doesn't cause skin cancer. Smoking can cause other cancer like lung cancer, oesophagus cancer. Risk of cancer for tobacco chewing and smoking is nearly same. I have not seen any patient who is effeted by unhygienicity of Tobacco, even there is no doccumtion of this. This product are hygienic but can cause cancer. Don't think to substitute smoking by Tobacco chewing. Take care.

Dear lybrate-user Smoking is harmful and while direct effect is on the lungs (breathlessness, cough), over time it effects almost all organs of the body including the heart. It causes not only lung cancer but cancers of other organs as well. Guthka is also very harmful and is most common cause of Oral Caner (Cancer of the Mouth) and Laryngeal Cancer (Cancer of the Voice Box) - which entails a very painful existence for the patient. How cleanly they are manufactured is not important because even if they were produced in a world class factory they would still be equally capable of causing cancer and health issues. I would strongly recommend you quit. Today, multiple medications are available to help people quit smoking and tobacco with minimal craving symptoms.
