There's no 100% proof as such. Cancer is a multifactorial condition, i.e. it not caused by a single factor, e.g. smoking, but by a combination of factors. The medical consensus, along with that of Tobacco Control, is that smoking is the major factor for lung cancer. However, this was based on unreliable, imprecise, inaccurate, biased epidemiological studies mainly performed half a decade ago.
Today, the emphasis of 'scientific' studies is switching to other lifestyle choices. So expect more of "alcohol/obesity/sunbathing/sex/cellphones/Facebook.... causes cancer".

Tobacco kills the lung region of the body. If you take the lungs of a person that doesn't smoke and then compare them to the lungs of someone who does smoke then you will see a big noticable difference. the lungs of the smoker will be alot darker and have tar built up all over them. Tobacco also tears away at your throat and can cause throat cancer. tobacco can hurt your taste buds and make your taste not as good. and just a tip: tobacco really causes and bad odor on the breath, hair, and clothes. If you are a non smoker than you really should not start smoking. It really is not a good idea and kills quickly. You have a 1 out of 10 chance of getting cancer if you smoke. - Ashley barba

Cancer is not caused by depression and stress. No one knows exactly what causes cancer cells to 'turn on'. Depression and stress can, however, exacerbate any illness. Best to see a doctor for a full checkup and get a referral for treatment for the stress and depression.
Which is worst chewing tobacco or dip?
One is really no better than the other. Smoking can be a major contributor to lung and throat cancer as well as many other associated health problems that can certainly contribute to a shortened life. Use of dipping tobacco can be a major contributor to cancer within the mouth area. I have seen people that used dipping tobacco that developed mouth cancer and wound up having to have their entire lower jaw removed. Their face, suffice it to say, looks horrible without a lower jaw. Dipping also causes your teeth and gums to look discolored and rotten. So if you smoke or use dipping tobacco you should stop. Immediately.

Lung cancer caused by nicotine and tar?
Lung cancer is strongly associated with tobacco smoke, which contains harmful substances like nicotine and tar. Nicotine is an addictive compound found in tobacco that can cause cells to divide and grow, contributing to the development of cancer. Tar, on the other hand, is a sticky substance in tobacco smoke that contains numerous carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) which can damage lung cells and their DNA, leading to the formation of cancerous tumors. When tobacco is smoked, these harmful components are inhaled into the lungs. Over time, repeated exposure to these toxins can lead to mutations in lung cells, causing them to become cancerous. It's important to note that not all individuals who smoke will develop lung cancer, but the risk is significantly increased among smokers. Additionally, exposure to secondhand smoke and other environmental pollutants can also contribute to the development of lung cancer. Apart from smoking, there are other risk factors for lung cancer, such as exposure to radon gas, asbestos, certain chemicals, and a family history of lung cancer. It's crucial to prioritize lung health by avoiding tobacco use, minimizing exposure to environmental toxins, and seeking regular medical check-ups, especially if you have risk factors. If you have concerns about lung cancer or are at risk, consult a healthcare professional for guidance and appropriate screenings.
