2 things are associated with the highest increases in mortality, primarily cigarette use, and auxilliary inhalation of smoke.
People who inhale cigar or pipe smoke only have a doubled risk of lung cancer, from 1 in 16 chance to a 1 in 8 chance. People who do not inhale have negligible increases in all mortality rates versus background rates.
Cigarettes kill, not tobacco, not nicotine, cigarettes do.
