Mystery behind Smoking- Do Smoking Causes Cancer?
Growing up, i have been afraid of two major sickness or should I say illness I am been made aware of since kid which are HIV and AIDS and also cancer.
Let me start with the Frist one. The frightening HIV/AID majorly gives me the impression that it is without cure and having this knowledge since childbirth only has been enough to put more fear within me concerning that.
Not only that, growing up, I discovered it is not only sex you can contact the dreadful infection but also if you come in contact with a patient who have that infection, I mean their blood, if their blood comes in contact with your blood, you can be infected.
I begin to wonder, how can I know someone infected with HIV AID by seeing them and what of if mistakenly I end up using an object that is not sterilised with someone infected, does that mean I am infected?
These questions keep hovering and the more it hovers in my mind, the more it strike fear pose to me. Though as day goes by one begin to conquer the fear about it because one begin to see the realisation that there the infection HIVAID can be managed and so there is absolutely preventing measures and also there is utmost need to not let people that have it to have Stigmatisation but one can still have it and live with it even in the society.
Alright that's for HIV and AIDS, another dreadful disease that actually causes some fear to me back then was Cancer.
Cancer is no more a strange and unknown disease. I grow up believing that the moment you are diagnosed with cancer, that is the end day for the person that has it. I mean that means there is no how the person can actually escape death having it but is that really true?
It get to a point I begin to wonder what are even really the causes of cancer or what can we point out and say it actually causes cancer in the live of human.
Even to this particular point, I begin to wonder why is the rate of cancer on a high rate and what actually causes the disease, is it hereditary, is it in gene, is it by gender or what actually.
After thorough research, I was able to come up with a lot of causes of the disease called cancer which I will like to share with us today
Well before we can dive into the causes of cancer, we should first look into the various types of cancer we have. As different types of cancer have their different causes attached to them
Ranging from skin cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, oval cancer, anus cancer and a whole lot of more.
Well today ,I will be diving into looking at one of the major causes of cancer which we all ignore or pretend we are not aware of. It causes lung cancer and this is smoking.
I have seen many people asking the question, does smoking really causes Cancer, does smoking causes one to die young, is smoking harmful to the health and so many by people asked
Smoking as Causes of Cancer
So many causes of cancer that we can find in this our contemporary age most especially with this our age that we so much consumed chemicals at a high rate than the days of old . But today I am interested in treating the aspect of smoking causing cancer
SMOKING
Don't be so surprised that this first option actually comes first in the list of the causes of cancer. I think this causes of cancer is actually attached to the causes of the lung cancer which so many people are suffering from now as a result of smoking.
What is smoking?
The burning and inhalation of other substances like tobacco, marijuana
When I mean smoking, I mean the aspect of smoking harmful drugs, like cigarette, marijuana. Though some people claim that marijuana is healthy but according to my belief, I come to to the conclusion that the benefit marijuana cause is more less than the harmful effect it causes to the body.
So many people have died of lung cancer and this about 40% can be traced to smoking.
I have seen a whole lot of cases that many people say they are addicted to smoking, well perhaps maybe you will soon be addicted to treating lung cancer when you eventually develop one.
And this really baffles me that there is a massive rise in the rate at which people smoke. When I was a kid, I can only point out that only the adult above 40- above usually smoke
But recently, both the young and old smokes and this really baffles me couple with that there will be a massive increase in the rate of lung cancer. Not only lung cancer but other disease smoking causes but I guess a whole lot of people are ignorant of this.
It quite baffles me that young youth are now involved in Smoking and doing this are quite putting their health state at risk. In ten or 20 years to time, you will see a lot of them developing health issues ranging from kidney failure to lung cancer to many more all traced back to the excessive smoking.
In fact, you will see some people saying they can't do without smoking a day. That really create a shock to me. This is to tell you how a lot of people have get themselves soaked in the addiction of smoking.
Beyond the spiritual effects, the health effects needs to be considered also. So many people asked, why do I have this infection, why am I diagnosed with cancer, what do I do to suffer heart failure, what do I do to suffer lung infection. They have quite forgotten that been traced back to Smoking, it goes a long way in causing .

Smoking is a well known high risk factor that predisposes one to cancer and to be specific ( in most cases lung Cancer).
The big question is, how?
It's quite simple. Cigarettes are thought have abundant carcinogens which are responsible for mutations in the cells.
There might also be some downplay in acetylation and up play in methylation of the DNA in the cells when there is mutation.
The how mainly because of the presence of abundant carcinogens in cigarettes
