Smoking and diabetes cause the same problems.Do not take chances.
Tobacco smoking is the largest single avoidable cause of premature death and the most important known carcinogen.
* It is associated particularly with lung cancer but also has a causative role in many other cancers, eg. esophageal, head
and neck.
* 15% of all cancer cases worldwide and >30% of cases in men from developed countries are attributed to smoking.
* A substantial increase in cancer burden may be expected unless measures to control consumption are strengthened -- a
consequence of the ongoing increase in global cigarette consumption, especially among women and in developing countries.
* Smoking cessation reduces the risk of cancer, but programmes promoting cessation have had only limited success.
* Passive exposure to tobacco smoke also contributes.
* Smoking is responsible for ~90% of cases of lung cancer and the relative risk in lifelong smoker compared to a lifelong
non-smoker is between 10- and 30- fold dependent on intensity and duration of exposure.

Smokers increase their risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and stroke with every cigarette they smoke. Conversely, those who quit smoking even at an advanced age will have a considerable decrease in their risk after a very short time.
