18. LUNGS
CANCER:
The other major respiratory
disease that smoking causes is lung cancer .New
evidence has identified an important gene - p53, found
in the nucleus of every cell. Its main role is to clean up
any errors or changes that occur within copied cells.
This means that any cell with damaged p53 is highly
susceptible to cancer.
.

19. RISKS OF LUNGS CANCER:
The risk of developing lungs
cancer is related to both ,how long
and how much a person has
smoked.
For instance, a person who takes
up smoking in their teens is five
times more likely to die of lung
cancer than someone who starts
after their mid twenties.

20. ASTHMA:
When someone smokes, he may cough, wheeze, and feel short of
breath.
This is because smoke irritates the airways, causing them to
become
swollen, narrow, and filled with
sticky substance. These are the
same things that happen during
an asthma flare-up. That's why
smoking can cause asthma flare-ups .Those flare-ups may be more
severe
20
and harder to control, even with medicine.

21. OTHER CANCERS OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:
Smoking is a major cause of
cancers of the oral
cavity, oesophagus and larynx.
The use of alcohol in
combination with smoking
greatly increases smokers' risk
for these cancers.

Center (NBRC), have found that a
