Passive Smokers Can Get Breast Cancer
by: Jasdeep Singh
US scientists have claimed that secondhand smokers are at higher risk of breast cancer. Earlier, their research also led to them to the conclusion that young women smokers are more likely to get addicted to smoking than young men.
Breast Cancer is the number one cancer among women and the count of its victims are rising very rapidly. (BTW, lung cancer strikes women at about the same rate as breast cancer). This is the first time that passive smoking has been directly linked with some sort of cancer.
World Health Organization links smoking with twenty-five cancers: Some of these cancers are: uterine, kidneys, cervix, pancreas, head and neck. The study firmly proves that smoking is not only injurious to your health but, also to the company of others.
Smoking doesn’t stop here with its side-effects. For women, smoking also increases the risk of strokes and heart diseases. And to add fuel to the fire, chances for heart-related diseases gets tenfold if they are taking birth control pills. For smoking cessation help, see “Quit Smoking“.
