Hi I am 19 years old and have been taking LARGE hits of tobacco (75% tobacco/25% weed) out of a glass bong for about 3 years now.  I just recently quit tobacco a week ago, but not marijuana.  I am worried about my health after quitting, especially concerning risks of developing cancer.  Whenever I would take these big hits out of the bong, I would sometimes SWALLOW a large amount of tobacco smoke and BURP it up minutes/hours later.  I have been experiencing heart burn and gas problems for about 6 months now.   Also, even if I take a deep breathe of fresh oxygen, I end up swallowing the air near the end of my inhale (burping it out later).   Have I caused permanent damage to my health?  (lung function, cardiovascular system, digestive system, etc.?)   
I am very worried that even after quitting, I am still at risk for cancer (not just in the lungs) and other possible permanent, irreversible damage I have created.
