6. Cancers

Both men and women who use nicotine products regularly are at a high risk of contracting cancer of the bronchus, trachea or lungs. What is even worse is that it is not only the active smokers but the passive smokers as well who are at high risk. Out of all forms of cancers, this is the deadliest, claiming around 1.3 million lives each year. Prevention includes educational awareness, adopting tobacco-free policies, and smoking cessation.
