The aristocratic habit of smoking a pipe actor Kazakov did not save him from cancer

Does the risk of cancer of the type of tobacco

He smokes a pipe ... How is romantic, exotic, mysterious and irresistible men. Ladies fainted, men gritted his teeth with envy. But, alas, as told to us oncologist Viktor Sahaidachny, pipe smoking in terms of damage to health is not much different from cigarettes. The "pipe makers" substantially the same frequency as that of the Smalany Belomor develop malignant tumors (including esophageal, larynx and lung), and the respiratory system and heart.

Some people think, say, in the tube - natural pure tobacco, and not some kind of nitrate with the paper. Yes, poor quality cheap cigarettes can cause chronic intoxication. However, nicotine and tar in the pure tobacco even more.

The highest percentage of mouth and throat cancer in the world - Cuba and Colombia, where nearly a third of the population engaged in the production of cigars (and hence their products do not let out of his mouth).

Until recently, most "safe" view of smoking, if I may say so, was considered a hookah. But doctors and denied it. American experts from the National Cancer Research Society presented scientific evidence that the body hookah smokers gets even larger carbon monoxide than when smoking a conventional cigarette. And smoke during one session of hookah smoking person inhales as much as 48 times more than a cigarette!

So the "harmless" smoke - is a myth. The risk of catching serious respiratory disease in smokers is reduced only after breaking the habit. Namely, the risk of lung cancer is reduced by 50% a year after quitting.
