Hidayatullah.com-suction-Some first cigarette in a matter of minutes can cause cell damage that triggers cancer.
In his research, a group of U.S. scientists said, "The effect is very fast as injecting liquids directly into the bloodstream."

They track a specific type, namely phenanthrene which is found in cigarette smoke, through the blood. It was found that in the blood of substances that form a toxin that can damage the DNA that mutate and cause cancer.
