Nicotiana tabacum, often known as tobacco, is a member of the Solanaceae family.
When taken in many forms, such as by chewing, smoking, sniffing, etc., it can be a silent killer.
Tobacco contains nicotine, a very toxic substance that raises heart rate and blood pressure.
Additionally, it increases stomach acidity, which leads to a decrease in appetite.
Chewing tobacco over time can lead to major problems like emphysema, stomach ulcers, artery hardening or constriction, respiratory infections, oral cancer, persistent coughing, and lung and throat cancer.
Hence, C is the correct answer
