Of the chemicals in tobacco, 60 of them are reported to be known cancer-causing substances (carcinogens). Many of them cause DNA damage and gene mutations in body cells that then replicate to result in large numbers of abnormal cells.
Gene mutations can cause the loss of normal functions in control of cellular growth, ultimately resulting in cellular proliferation and cancer.
