Waxy coating on tobacco linked to lung cancer claim
A New York physician at Sloan-Kettering said the waxy coating on tobacco leaf releases cancer causing chemicals when burned. He proposed four steps toward safer smokes including dry cleaning the leaf, an effective filter, lower cigarette burn temperature, and moderation in smoking. He warned the results are not a safe cure, just an approach, and noted mouse skin studies showing higher cancer risk with increased tar exposure.
