Users also may be at risk for cancer of the voice box, esophagus, colon and bladder, because they swallow some of the toxins in the juice created by using smokeless tobacco.

Smoking can cause tooth staining, gum disease, tooth loss and – more seriously – mouth cancer. Smoking is also one of the main causes of bad breath. Alcoholic drinks can also cause mouth cancer.

Those that do not realize what a toll poor oral health takes on a community probably have either not ever endured severe dental problems, or have always had dental services readily available.

Facilitated by the large surface area of the lungs' air sacs, cocaine administered by inhalation is absorbed almost immediately into the bloodstream. It takes only 19 seconds to reach the brain.

Crack smokers achieve maximum physiological effects approximately two minutes after inhalation.
