there are two main things in tobacco:
1) nictonie
2) non nicotine components
chemical science suggests that the non nicotine components drastically change in their structure once they go through the combustion process. tobacco scientists call the post-combustion components "nfdpm (nicotine free dry particle matter). this nfdmm has many thousand of which nearly 100 have been identified as carcinogenic. the smoke goes to your lung and heart. so you run the risk of lunch cancer or cardiovascular diseases because of smoking. the 100 carcigens are to be blamed.
this finding, contray to what tobacco industry claims, is not just empirical. it is bio-chemically tested. the study is called "hoffman" or something like that.
however, a tobacco product which doesn't have "combustion" option (for example snuss or chewing tobacco), significantly reduces the risk of lunch cancer and cvds. however, the chewing and the saliva, when mixed with tobacco nicotine, may cause infections and irritations inside your mouth which, in the long run, may lead to oral cancer.
this oral cancer theory (involving saliva and stuff) is not bio-chemically full-proof. it is more of an empirical study.
i am not a chemist nor a biologist. so please forgive me for mis-spelled names.

Religious people use the bible to tell others what is right or wrong, but having read the bible a few times I don't recall anything out smoking tobacco in the bible. Tobacco is certainly NOT good for your health at any age but you are violation laws if you do smoke at 14, which is absolutely a sin anyway you look at it.
