Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

    Is Tobacco dangerous? I thought it was mostly the ridiculous amount of chemicals they soaked and resoaked it in when making cigarettes that made it especially bad.

      Yes. It causes cancer. Eg chewing tobacco.

        Is it the tobacco that’s harmful or the added chemicals in there that are harmful?
