directly linked to an increase in every single type of cancer

Many people believe that smoking only increases the risk of some cancers like lung cancer and throat cancer but fail to realise that smoking is directly linked to an increase in every single type of cancer.

For example when Patrick Swayze the movie star was diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas many were quick to point out that it couldn't be related to his smoking because it was a stomach cancer. This is completely incorrect as the statistics show a direct correlation between increased rates of cancer of the pancreas and smoking and that those individuals who have a family tendency to cancer of the pancreas are likely to get it at a much younger stage if they smoke.

Practically every single illness known to man is aggravated by cigarettes and the idea that you are not putting yourself in any danger by smoking is crazy. So many smokers are in complete denial about the dangers of their smoking habit but in the majority of cases this is just a defence mechanism to deal with the sad fact of their chronic addiction and in some cases just plain stupidity.

At Ukmedix News we feel we have a clear duty to inform our readers about all smoking perils and also to educate them and help them to beat their smoking addiction. We are aware of how hard it is to quit and many hardened smokers who do finally quit say that it was the most difficult experience of their lives. The legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne claims that of all the drugs that he took over the years including heroin and cocaine the most difficult one to give up was smoking tobacco.

Smokers struggling to quit have found solace in writing about their experiences on the Ukmedix smoking forum and swapping tips on how to deal with cravings and other withdrawal symptoms.
