How Does Nicotine Contribute to Tobacco-Related Cancer?
Tobacco-related cancers account for approximately one-third of all cancers in the United States according to National Institutes of Drug Abuse statistics. This information is even more sobering when it becomes clear that approximately 90 percent of lung cancer diagnoses are found in people who have a history of smoking tobacco and nicotine products. Other types of cancers that are related to tobacco-related products and nicotine include oral cancer, throat cancer and gum cancer.
