Smoking And Lung Cancer. by Myles23(m): 2:44pm On Apr 04, 2022
Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer.
In the US cigarette smoking has been linked to 80—90% of lung cancer deaths.

Smokers are 15 - 30 times more likely than nonsmokers to develop or die from lung Cancer.
Toxic metals such as lead, copper, arsenic, aluminium etc. Are significantly present in cigarette smoke.

There is no safe level of exposure to cigarette smoking. With each puff of a cigarette, over 5000 chemicals are released with at least 70 of them know to cause cancer.

How does Cigarette Smoking Cause cancer.

The cancer causing chemicals in cigarette are called Carcinogens, the override the cell's innate protection from DNA damage. This carcinogens builds up over time and causes Cancer.

Research has shown that there are at least 16 cancers caused by smoking ; Cancer of Liver, Ovary, Kidneys, Lungs, Colon, Cervix, bladder, Oropharynx etc.

Each Cigarette that a person smokes has the tendency of reducing the lifespan by an average of 11 minutes. Thus Smoking is the biggest preventable cause of Cancer.

Passive smoking i.e a second party inhalation of smoke is the third leading cause of lung cancer, causing an estimated 3000 lung cancer deaths every year.

Regardless of how long a person has smoked, can reduce the chances of dying from lung cancer by half in 10 years.
