Nicotine is addictive and one of the main reasons people smoke, but contrary to popular belief, it’s not the primary cause of smoking-related diseases like lung cancer. These are caused by the high levels of toxins released in tobacco smoke.
It's always best to quit tobacco and nicotine completely, but smokers who don’t should know that smoke-free products exist as less harmful alternatives to continued smoking.
However, the many myths and misconceptions about nicotine are often preventing people from considering these better alternatives. Clearing them up can help adult smokers make informed decisions for their health.
