5 Deadly diseases caused by smoking


Everyone knows that smoking cigarettes are dangerous. Most people have known someone or have seen someone they loved die slowly from some diseases that was caused by smoking. Tobacco contains more than 400 toxic substances on top of the super-addictive nicotine. Read along and find out about 5 of the many deadly diseases caused by tobacco and smoking.

Cancer- Cancer has almost become synonymous with tobacco. It's widely known that tobacco causes cancer, but most people fail to realize just how many types of cancer are involved. Lung cancer, cancer of the larynx and pharynx, bladder, kidney, cervical, colon, esophageal, and breast cancer are all related to smoking.

Cardiovascular Disease (Heart Disease)- Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States and most European countries. Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow, which leads to heart attacks, chronic chest pains, and strokes.

Erectile Dysfunction- Even though erectile dysfunction isn't going to cut your life short, most men will agree that impotence will certainly be deadly to an important part of their life. Studies have shown that the more a man smokes, the more likely he is to become impotent at even lower ages.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)- Acute Myeloid Leukemia damages developmental cells. It starts deep in bone marrow and quickly spreads into the blood stream and then to vital organs and into the central nervous system.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm- When smoking causes blood clots in the aorta, there becomes a bulge in the aortic artery. If not treated, there is great risk that this aneurysm can rupture and mean almost certain death.

Smoking cigarettes has many side effects. Above are just some of the serious ones. The nicotine in cigarettes is more addictive than most illegal drugs. With 443,000 smoking related deaths a year, smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, and all illegal drugs combined.
