Study Links Cigars, Pipes, and Smokeless Tobacco to Increased Heart Disease Risk

Research has long established the dangers of cigarette smoking, but recent findings highlight that other forms of tobacco use—such as cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco—also pose significant risks to heart health. According to data, tobacco use is responsible for nearly one in five deaths annually in the United States. While many fatalities are attributed to cancer, researchers report that individuals who smoke are more likely to die from heart disease than lung cancer.

The study underscores the cardiovascular risks associated with non-cigarette tobacco products. These forms of tobacco consumption have often been perceived as less harmful alternatives; however, evidence suggests they contribute substantially to heart-related illnesses. The findings add to a growing body of research emphasizing the broader health implications of all types of tobacco use beyond their well-documented links to cancer.
