Is there a link to tobacco utilization and cancer?
Cigarette smoking is clearly the most significant cause of lung cancer and the leading cause of lung cancer death in both men and women in the United States. It is also well known that smoking is responsible for the majority of cancers which develop in the voice box (larynx), the mouth (oral cavity), and the esophagus. There has also been a clear link established between the utilization of tobacco and the development of bladder, kidney, pancreatic, and cervical cancers.
