Does smoking cause cancer?

I've been trying to quit smoking for a while now, and the fear of getting cancer is a big motivator. I know it's harmful, but I want to understand more clearly. Does smoking definitely cause cancer?

Smoking is the leading cause of lung and oral cancers due to the carcinogens present in tobacco smoke. If you have chronic symptoms like a persistent cough, blood in phlegm, or non-healing mouth ulcers, please consult an oncologist immediately. Regular health screenings are crucial for early detection.

Haan na, smoking is very dangerous and it directly causes many types of cancer, ho na. We all see those warning ads in theaters, but people still ignore it. It is better to stop this bad habit completely to protect your life and your family.

My grandfather was a heavy smoker and passed away from cancer, and now every time I get a throat infection, I start panicking that it is something serious. Does anyone else who smokes get this constant fear of cancer, and how do you cope with the anxiety of quitting?

I know how hard it is to quit smoking once you are addicted, but no home remedy or healthy diet can protect you if you keep smoking. My uncle tried eating raw garlic and turmeric thinking it would clean his lungs, but he still got very sick. The only real remedy is to stop smoking completely.
