Whenever you light a cigarette you make way for all kinds of nasty toxins to enter your body and have their way with your chemical structure and your anatomy. Other diseases caused by smoking include lung cancer, oral cancer and losing-all-your-friends-because-your-breath-stinks cancer. But don’t take my words lightly.
Smoking is indeed the first sign of throat cancer and you should read on if you want to know what you are getting into whenever you say that you cannot quit smoking, that smoking is a part of your social life and so on. And yes, smoking does help you lose weight, in the sense that ultimately, if you are one of the unfortunate throat cancer patients, you could lose your entire lower jaw and part of your throat. And then you will be lighter but nobody will have the heart to tell you to keep your chin up. But I digress. Let us continue with the review of what throat cancer means and what it entails for your body.
Throat cancer symptoms: * Open mouth lesions that won’t heal; * Persistent throat or mouth aches; * Your throat hurts when you swallow; * Cough; * Throat swellings
Not only smoking can cause cancer, but excessive alcohol consumption as well.Treatment against throat cancer entails totally or partially removing the larynx or the pharynx. Throat cancer is also known as pharynx cancer. Men are most affected by the disease. Alcohol consumption and smoking increase the risks of throat cancer. If you cannot give up smoking ask qualified people to help you find a way to do away with your problem. Throat cancer occurs when cells begin do divide chaotically. Most affected are the vocal cords. The first sign that signals throat cancer is the change of voice, or constant hoarseness. Other symptoms are throat and coughs. Other types of cancer determined by smoking: breast cancer, lung cancer.
To conclude, in the words of that praetorian in the arena in the movie “Gladiator”, “are you not entertained”? I know, I am a smoker myself, for now, I am working on quitting, you should start too. For me, reading and writing about throat cancer and other types of cancer is an injection of guilt and fear felt whenever I light a cigarette. Then the pleasures of smoking is gone and all that remains are some imaginary feelings of pain in the throat and chest. Are you feeling that pain as well. Are you sure it is just imaginary? Put that cigarette out, get a subscription to a gym of your choosing and get a chest x-ray to see the amount of damage you have done to your lungs so far. This being said, I hope we will meet again, three years from now, at a marathon. Good luck.
