There are currently 69 known carcinogens in a single puff of cigarette smoke. Go D.A.R.E.!
The IARC, part of the World Health Organisation, lists nearly 1,000 carcinogens. The vast majority of these are in the (smoke-free) 'fresh air' we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the prescription drugs we take, are produced endogenously by the human body, are present in the personal hygiene and cosmetic products we use and the products we clean our houses with.........

∙ 12y agoIt depends. Like all plants, tobacco absorbs carcinogens from the environment and it depends which are present in the local soil and atmosphere. The use of fertilisers, pesticides, etc. may introduce further carcinogens, be it a tomato plant or a tobacco plant. All species of plants naturally produce allelochemicals, chemicals to ward off pests, to help them reproduce, etc. Very little research has been made into them.
To complicate matters, there are various classifications of carcinogens - known/probable/possible, to humans/rodents etc.

How does smokeless tobacco affect the male reproductive organs?
Smokeless tobacco does not affect the reproductive organs of either male or female. It contains nicotine, a mild stimulant, which has similar effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system, but other than that it is basically harmless (see tobaccoharmreduction.org for more information on the risks associated with smokeless tobacco). The reason for its benignness compared to smoking is that it does not contain the thousands of chemicals and carcinogens that a lit cigarette does. Cigarettes are cancerous because of the combustion. The moment a cigarette is lit on fire, thousands of chemicals and carcinogens are created and inhaled into the lungs (a sensitive organ that bypasses many of the body's natural defenses). Smokeless tobacco is absorbed through the tissues of the mouth, and does not contain the thousands of chemicals found in smoke. Many public health sites claim that smokeless tobacco causes cancer, however, this is rarely backed up (look for references to studies for claims like these; there are rarely any at all and those that are referenced are very old or poorly done). If I could point you to one excellent study on the effects of smokeless tobacco and cancer it would be this recent meta-analysis of the majority of good research done thus far, which can be found here: http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1741-7015-7-36.pdf According to the National Cancer Institute, there is a definite cause and effect between use of smokeless tobacco and cancer of the oral cavity. Smokeless tobacco has 28 chemicals that have been found to cause cancer. See the related link for more information.
