• Cigars contain more nicotine and

produce more tar and carbon monoxide.

cancers of the lip, mouth and throat.1 cigar=1 pack of cigarettes!

SMOKELESS TOBACCO

• tobacco that is sniffed through the nose, held in the mouth, or chewed.

• It is the most harmful type of tobacco product to our

bodies and health.• It comes in two forms:

• Receding gums (which can eventually make your teeth fall out)

• Increased heart rate, High blood pressure, and Irregular heartbeats

• all leading to a greater risk of heart attacks.
