Lead paragraph
Minor note: It lists COPD and emphysema as two potential diseases related to smoking, but emphysema is a form of COPD, as is chronic bronchitis.--Chimino (talk) 22:06, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
The toxicity of smoking
"Toxicity is the degree to which a substance can damage an organism." — from the Wiki article on "toxicity" The Wiki artcle on the health effects of smoking offers plenty of evidence and makes it abundantly clear that tobacco smoke has a fairly high degree of toxicity. In short it's toxic. Tobacco for personal use is a toxic substance. Any article covering and aspect of tobacco production and use should make it clear that it is raised by and large for personal use, as so used is toxic.
