Do you want to live longer? "DO NOT SMOKE"

The habit of smoking harms almost all the organs of the body. It has been definitively linked to cataracts and pneumonia (pneumonia) and causes one third of deaths related to any type of cancer. In general, the death rate from cancer doubles in smokers and up to four times more in heavy smokers. Lung cancer tops the list of cancer types caused by tobacco. The use of cigarettes is associated with 90 percent of all cases of lung cancer, the cancer that causes the most deaths among both men and women. Smoking is also associated with cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, cervix, kidneys, urethra, bladder and acute myeloid leukemia.

Although we often think that the medical consequences are the result of the direct use of tobacco products, passive inhalation of cigarette smoke also increases the risk of contracting many diseases. Environmental tobacco smoke is the largest source of indoor air pollutants. It is estimated that passive inhalation of cigarette smoke causes approximately 3,000 deaths from lung cancer among people who do not smoke and contributes to more than 35,000 deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. Being exposed to tobacco smoke in the home is also a risk factor that contributes to new and more severe cases of childhood asthma. In addition, cigarettes that fall or are thrown away are the leading cause of residential fire fatalities, causing more than 1,000 deaths each year.

What happens when you smoke cigarette smoke?

"The chemicals in tobacco smoke reach your lungs quickly every time you inhale, causing immediate damage," says Benjamin in the report. "Inhaling even the smallest amount of tobacco smoke can even damage your DNA, which can trigger cancer."

Cigarette smoke is made up of more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds of them are toxic and at least 70 are carcinogenic.

According to the report, smoking is responsible for more than 85% of lung cancers - but it is also the origin of other chronic diseases directly related to exposure to cigarette smoke.

It is also an important cause of heart disease, heart attacks, aortic aneurysms and peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

In fact, the report indicates that even the lowest levels of exposure, such as smoking occasionally, smoking only a few cigarettes a day or breathing secondhand smoke, are enough to increase the risk of a cardiovascular event.

The report directly links smoking to 13 different types of cancer, including the esophagus, trachea, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder, cervix and acute myeloid leukemia.

He linked smoking to more than a dozen chronic diseases such as stroke, blindness, periodontitis, heart disease, pneumonia; reporductive problems such as reduced fertility, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and other respiratory ailments.

Being a passive smoker affects adults and children in different ways. According to the report, exposed children can suffer from middle ear infections, impaired lung function and are more susceptible to sudden infant death syndrome.

Adults suffer the risk of lung cancer, nasal irritation, heart disease and reproductive problems such as births of underweight babies,

"Casual smokers believe they are improving their health by reducing the number of cigarettes, but there is no safe level," he said. "It affects the DNA of people immediately, and their heart and blood vessels literally seconds after being exposed."
