Health Risks Linked To Tobacco Use

Excretory System

The human excretory system encompasses the lungs, skin, kidneys and liver.

Studies show that tobacco is found to be the most common cause of cancer, especially throat and lung cancer. It ruins the cells in the oral activity and the throat.

Lung Cancer

Usually, lungs work to eliminate carbon dioxide and other toxins from the body. When inhaled, tobacco’s carcinogens accumulate in the lungs. These chemicals develop into tumors and cause lung cancer. Symptoms of lung cancer include persistent cough, unexplained fever, weight loss and shortness of breath. In most cases, 85% of the patients die within 5 years after diagnosis. However, modern technology allows cancers to be detected at an earlier stage and increase a patient’s lifespan.

Digestive System
