Tobacco Dangers

Tobacco Dangers Detail
Regardless of the tobacco product used, there is an increased risk of cancer, strokes and heart disease.  Tobacco smoke that is inhaled causes lung cancer, sinus disease and chronic obstructive  lung disease.  Many pipe smokers state that they do not inhale, but research shows that they have a significant increase in risk of lung, larynx, throat, esophagus, pancreas, and colon-rectal cancers along with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and strokes.Tobacco use has been      
associated with premature aging and skin wrinkling.  Before undergoing cosmetic surgery for wrinkles one should suspend tobacco use.

If careless, cigarettes can cause life threatening fires.  To the right is a picture of a patient who was smoking a cigarette while using home oxygen to treat his chronic obstructive lung disease.  A fire and explosions ignited with extensive burns to the face and inside of the nose.  A video of the patient's nasal endoscopy can be viewed below.
