Tobacco is an active cause of stomach diseases.
Smoking and chewing tobacco weakens and debilitates the digestive organs. Waste of saliva caused by smoking and chewing is one of the ways by which the system sustains loss and injury through the use of tobacco. Tobacco very readily finds its way into the blood stream, and anything that affects the blood affects every organ and tissue of the body. It greatly harms the blood corpuscles and has a very damaging effect on the nervous system which causes poor circulation. A woman who smokes develops poisons and degenerates much more rapidly than men.
