- CORE MODULES FORMS OF TOBACCO
Evidence also suggests a dose–response relationship between cumulative tobacco use and development of second primary tumors—a history of intense cumulative tobacco use is a universally recognized risk factor for second primary tumor development among head and neck cancer patients

By recognizing the complexity of the determinants of tobacco use and addressing these behavioral mediators, we have the potential to reduce tobacco related cancers dramatically Reference: Hiatt RA, Rimer BK A new strategy for cancer control research Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prevent 1999; 8:957–64
- Epidemiology of Lung Cancer - CareGate
Tobacco – Cancer Linked Directly A specific metabolite of benzo(a)pyrene, a constituent of tobacco smoke, damages three specific loci on the p53 tumor-suppressor gene that are known to be abnormal in 60% of primary lung cancer

Patients can reduce their cancer risk by taking steps to avoid such agents According to the National Cancer Institute, tobacco products are the single largest cause of cancer death and are implicated in roughly one out of every three cancer deaths
- Malignant Tumours of the Oral Cavity Types Presentations
Paired with tobacco use, patients who drink and smoke increase their risk of developing oral cancer even more Researchers have found that alcohol increases the penetration of DNA-damaging chemicals in the lining of the oral cavity and oropharynx, according to the American Cancer Society
