Based on the references, I believe this should be tagged (2015) Also, article title is "Tobacco-Related Mortality"

  Can you name any relevant "tobacco-related" activities that are not "smoking"? (Technically, it's true that the term "cigarette smoking" is too narrow. When my mother asked my father to quit cigarette smoking, he happily obliged and started stuffing a tobacco pipe instead.)

    > Can you name any relevant "tobacco-related" activities that are not "smoking"? I'm only pointing out the actual article title. HN guidelines are to use the actual article title (with some caveats). As that's not the case here, I think it's useful to provide it. Since you asked, as for other tobacco-related activities, tobacco is consumed in a number of different ways, smoked or otherwise. One of the bullets at the top of the article explicitly mentions: > Smokeless tobacco is a known cause of cancer. Wikipedia lists: > Dried tobacco leaves are mainly used for smoking in cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, and flavored shisha tobacco. They can be also be consumed as snuff, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco and snus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco Vaping is also an alternative which I suppose one could consider distinct from smoking.

    Don't know if they're "relevant" but snuff is common in certain places - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff_(tobacco) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff_(tobacco) Edit: actually there's a full Wikipedia article on smokeless tobacco - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_tobacco https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_tobacco
