As the saying goes "Smokers are liable to die young" Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and spit and other types of smokeless tobacco all cause cancer. There is no safe way to use tobacco. Smoking shortens male smokers’ lives by about 12 years and female smokers’ lives by about 11 years. Smoking not only causes cancer. It can damage nearly every organ in the body, including the lungs, heart, blood vessels, reproductive organs, mouth, skin, eyes, and bones. Major health defects as a result of using Tobacco Causes fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer Increased risk of gum disease and tooth loss. Decreased immune system function Increased risk of type 2 diabetes Decreased sense of smell and taste Premature aging of the skin Bad breath and stained teeth Increased risk for cataracts Higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis Increased risk of peptic ulcers Available Health check plan If you notice any health problems as a result of smoking or as a result of being overly exposed to smoke, see our doctors at Afriglobal Medicare for 1. Chest X-ray: This will help us know how much your lungs damage has already be done 2. CT Scan: This will provide better diagnostic images, allowing our doctors to detect problems, such as lung cancer, in earlier stages than with plain X-rays 3. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) this will help measure the speed of your heartbeat and helps us determine if, and where, heart damage has occurred. Facts about Smoking 1. Smoking during pregnancy has also been linked to a higher risk of birth defects and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) 2. Smoking can also affect sperm (which reduces fertility) and increase the risk of miscarriage and birth defects. 3. Smoking accounts for about 7% of all cancer deaths, including lung cancer deaths. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women and is one of the hardest cancers to treat. #WorldTobaccoDay
