Question

which is a burden that tobacco use places on society? an increase in the number of people with cancer an increase in the costs for purchasing tobacco products a decrease in the number of people with disabilities a decrease in the risk of generating house fires

Explanation:

Tobacco use is a known risk factor for cancer. An increase in cancer cases due to tobacco use places a burden on society in terms of healthcare costs, loss of productivity, and emotional toll. The cost of purchasing tobacco products is a personal expense (not a societal burden in the context of the question). A decrease in disabilities or house - fire risk is not associated with tobacco use as a burden (tobacco use actually increases health - related risks).

Answer:

an increase in the number of people with cancer
