Final answer:

Carcinogens in tobacco smoke induce gene mutations leading to cancer.


Explanation:

Cancer is caused by changes in genes due to environmental exposures like carcinogens found in tobacco smoke.

These carcinogens induce mutations in genes that control cell division, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer development.

Understanding and avoiding cancer-causing exposures are crucial in reducing the risk of cancer.
