Tobacco and cigarettes contain toxins that are detrimental to the human body.
Tobacco snuff is a form of smokeless tobacco and many people believe that it does not contain the same harmful risks as the tobacco that is smoked. However, it has many health risks and side effects that range from serious to life threatening.
Excretory System
The human excretory system encompasses the lungs, skin, kidneys and liver.

Lung Cancer
Usually, lungs work to eliminate carbon dioxide and other toxins from the body. When inhaled, tobacco’s carcinogens accumulate in the lungs. These chemicals develop into tumors and cause lung cancer. Symptoms of lung cancer include persistent cough, unexplained fever, weight loss and shortness of breath. In most cases, 85% of the patients die within 5 years after diagnosis. However, modern technology allows cancers to be detected at an earlier stage and increase a patient’s lifespan.
