you were asked to describe the relationship between “tobacco smoking” and “cancer,” you might immediately think of lung cancer. It’s true that smoking tobacco products (including cigarettes and cigars) causes almost nine of every 10 cases of lung cancer, but smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body, including in the—

Bladder.
Blood (acute myeloid leukemia).
Cervix.
Colon and rectum.
Esophagus.
Kidney and renal pelvis.
Liver.
Lungs, bronchi, and trachea.
Mouth and throat.
Pancreas.
Stomach.
Voice box (larynx).


Here but I’m not sure:)
