Researchers in the United States analyzed more than 5,000 malignant tumors or cancer. They compared the cancer patients who smoke and do not smoke.
DNA of smokers, researchers found DNA damage. Damage to DNA or gene mutations that can cause the formation of cancer cells.
Specifically, researchers found 150 gene mutation in every cell lung for a year if every day spend a pack of cigarettes.
The study, published in the journal Science also shows, on average, been 97 mutation in every cell in the larynx or voice box, 39 mutations in the cells of the pharynx or throat, 23 mutations in the cells of the mouth, 18 mutations in the bladder, and 6 mutations in cells in the liver.
Each gene mutations could potentially damage the body's cells. I wonder what happens if the consumption of more than one pack of cigarettes per day and you have been smoking for many years.
