Burning tobacco creates smoke. This smoke contains high levels of harmful chemicals that primarily cause smoking-related diseases like lung cancer.
The best choice any smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine entirely—but many don’t. These existing adult smokers should have the facts they need to make informed decisions for their health.

It’s true that humans wouldn’t be where we are today without fire—but in some areas of modern-day life, such as smoking, it’s time we stamped out burning. Thanks to new technology and the greater understanding we have at our fingertips, this is now possible.
When you remove the burning process, exposure to harm can be reduced.
