Summary

The focus of this chapter is on the most common type of tobacco use – cigarette smoking (smoking) – which involves burning tobacco and inhaling the products of this combustion. There are many other tobacco products that can be smoked and also some that involve tobacco use without burning, such as by ingestion or vapour inhalation. Tobacco products that can be smoked include cigarettes (manufactured or hand-rolled), cigars and loose tobacco used in pipes and waterpipes. Ingested (also called ‘smokeless’) forms of tobacco are generally intended for oral use and are sucked, chewed (dipped), gargled or applied to the gums or teeth, and fine tobacco mixtures can be inhaled into the nostrils (snuff).
