Research Notes on Tobacco


Tobacco is an addictive substance that is processed from a tall, leafy plant. Although there are many species of tobacco, only the Nicotiana tabacum is used for cigarette production.1 Tobacco can be burned and inhaled (smoked) or absorbed in the mouth (chewing tobacco). Nicotine, which is one of the main ingredients in tobacco, is classified as a drug.

Fast Facts:

  • Withdrawal symptoms are not uncommon in people who stop using tobacco.1
  • Tobacco use can contribute to such conditions as a heart attack, emphysema, and lung cancer.2
