Alternate Tobacco Products

This overview highlights the dangers associated with alternative tobacco products such as bidis, dissolvable tobacco, e-cigarettes, and hookahs. Bidis can contain significantly more nicotine than regular cigarettes and increase the risk of various cancers and heart issues. Dissolvable tobacco forms, including orbs and strips, also pose health risks, particularly to the mouth and throat. E-cigarettes, although popular, can lead to lung and digestive problems. Lastly, hookah use exposes smokers to more smoke and carbon monoxide, raising their risk of serious health conditions.
