The scientific evidence summarised in this statement shows that tobacco smoking causes lung, oral, larynx, oesophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas cancer, while oral use of tobacco causes oral cancer. Tobacco use causes 29% of the deaths that occur in Canada from cancer each year, i.e. an estimated excess of 15,300 deaths in 1989. Evidence is accumulating that passive smoking (exposure to environmental tobacco smoke) increases the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers.
