Replying to So in all honesty how bad are Tabacco products?

So I my friend and I got into a discussion as to rather or not the risk are greatly over hyped. We both agreed that they were over hyped but he seems to think it is much more a over hyped. Now obviously no tobacco products are safe . Just wondering what NS opinion is. Now I have dipped about 7 times in my life simply because peerpreasure and my friend dips every day. Also how long do you think it takes before you are actually at risk of cancer?
