Scientists have analyzed Exposure To Tobacco Causes Cancer is a potent carcinogen causes oral cancer. It is dangerous for the nine billion people who have the habit of chewing, smell a rat, or using tobacco.
"This is the first sample of the oral cavity carcinogens found in tobacco," said Stephen Hecht, head of research.
"These results are particularly pertinent to the development of the use of tobacco in the world, especially to young people who think that chewing tobacco is safer than when used in cigarettes. We have found only one strong carcinogens present in these products," he added, as reported by the Times of India (23/08).
Previous research has shown that people who use tobacco than to smoke had a risk of cancer of the mouth, esophagus, and pancreas higher. Scientists also found that tobacco users suffered damage to their genes due to the carcinogens in tobacco.

The research team named Hecht Substance Causes Cancer In Tobacco as (S)-NNN, one of the substances belonging to nitrosamines, a carcinogen that can cause cancer. Nitrosamines are usually found in some foods. But the level of nitrosamines in Tobacco cigarettes that are not used for more than food.
To address the effects caused by carcinogenic substances, the researchers performed experiments on mice. They provide two types of NNN low doses in mice for 17 months. As a result, one of the NNN substances, namely (S)-NNN, has the ability to trigger tumors of the oral cavity and esophagus higher than other substances.
"Tobacco is used in addition to smoke has been widely used. This can cause mouth cancer, and we need to eliminate all carcinogens in tobacco prior to sale," said Hecht.
Hecht added that reduces carcinogens in tobacco can be done. In fact at this time many tobacco products that have low levels of carcinogens. Carcinogens also need to watch out by the smokers, because (S)-NNN also be found on the tobacco used in cigarettes.
