Answer:

Rationalization

Explanation:

Rationalization is a defense mechanism by which an individual employs to state facts and reasons in a seemingly rational and logical manner to excuse their controversial behavior, or generally unacceptable behaviors.

In this case, Kamal tries to form a defense for smoking by giving reasons such as:

1. Smoking is the only bad thing he does

2. Something must definitely kill a person.

So therefore, logically, his smoking habit can be excused by the doctor. He does this perhaps in order to fight back the feeling of guilt.

Digestive system

Cigarettes that are smoked cause respiratory infections such as lung cancer, but chewing tobacco would cause more damage to the digestive system. There's a chance you might swallow it and when you chew it the juices/tobacco go down your throat into your stomach.
