What is Tobacco?

Tobacco is a plant whose leaves dried and fermented before being used to make tobacco products. Tobacco includes nicotine, a substance that can lead to addiction, which is why so many people struggle to quit smoking. Many other potentially dangerous compounds can be present in tobacco or formed when burned.
