First cigarette on Morning Most Cancer Risk

Smoking habits in the morning is usually difficult for smokers left. They believe there is something missing if they do not start the day without a lit cigarette. In fact, smoking is the most in the morning increases the risk of lung cancer, both in light and heavy smokers.
Researchers analyzed data from a study of smokers and ex-smokers studied in Italy. The study included a survey on smoking habits and history of respondents, including to the question, "How long will it take, from waking up and then start smoking?"
Michael B researchers study Steinberg said, the risk of smokers to develop lung cancer, head and neck greatly influenced by the degree of their dependence on nicotine consumption.
"Thus, asking questions such as the time when they smoked after waking up will reveal their risk for developing cancer," he said.
In the study, of a total of 3,249 smokers were analyzed, 1,812 develop lung cancer, while the rest did not. Researchers found that the risk of cancer would be higher for those who only need a short time, from waking up to smoking a single cigarette.

Interestingly, the risk of cancer is higher in light smokers who smoked their first cigarette with early, rather than heavy smokers who started smoking a single cigarette at a time over the end. It can be concluded, the time smoking cigarettes could be one way of predicting the risk of cancer.
Another study conducted in Japan some time ago also shows the relationship between cigarette smoking and the first lung cancer. Although only smoke one or two cigarettes a day, but at an earlier time, it could be even higher risk of cancer than those who smoke two packs of cigarettes per day.
