Cigarettes attack the gene in just a few minutes

In just a few minutes smoking can cause genetic diseases, related to cancer. This finding by American scientists is a warning for people who are intending to smoke.

In fact, a researcher said on Discovery : " When smoking inside, poison in cigarettes will react very quickly, it is equivalent to direct injection of toxins into the blood ."

Scientists say that in toxic tobacco is PAHs (aromatic hydrocarbon hydrocarbons), which can also be found in coal-fired plants, or in foods like burnt black meat.

According to research results, PAHs react easily to genes, causing mutations, leading to lung cancer, the disease takes the lives of 3,000 people every day, and 90% of those who die from tobacco.

This is the first study done on humans, to determine how tobacco toxins cause damage to genes, along with the effects of inhaled cigarette smoke. The study does not take into account the impact of other harmful factors such as pollution or poor diet.
