Here’s another “feather in the cap” for the ill-effects of smoking. Besides having a cardinal effect of breathing disorders and a risk for lung cancer, scientists have now found out that smoking may be the reason for advanced stage of kidney cancer. This was the result of a research conducted by the Duke University Medical Center.

There was a research conducted on as many as 845 people. These people had had a surgery for kidney cancer between the years 2000 and 2009. The group of people was then divided into smokers and non-smokers. About
20% of the people were those who had never touched smoke while a part of them were partial smokers and a part of them were those who were hardcore smokers. The report revealed that those who smoked were more vulnerable to this type of kidney cancer.

Dr. Matvey Tsivian revealed that the risk for the disease would stop when one stops smoking. He further added that it is better as long as one has kept himself smoke-free. Smoking is one of the biggest social evils in the world and it has many deteriorating side effects on the body of a person. For this reason, one should keep a note that a healthy life is a smoke-free one.
