Tobacco

The Tobacco topic includes research on combustible and non-combustible tobacco products and the health effects of tobacco use, including the prevention, treatment, and outcomes of use and addiction. Tobacco products contain a highly addictive ingredient called nicotine, which is why many people who smoke or vape find it difficult to quit. Using tobacco products increases a person’s risk of developing cancer, heart disease, lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other serious health problems.
