Dangerous health hazards due to tobacco :
• Pancreatic Cancer - The organ responsible for the digestion of food through production of hormones is damaged due to poisoning by the tobacco smoke. The toxins present in tobacco smoke are transferred by lungs through bloodstream and directly to the pancreas where they cause damage to the pancreatic cells.
• Lung Cancer - As many as 75% of patients suffering from lung cancer are smokers. However, there are some innocents who, after inhaling the toxic smoke emitted by tobacco products are also vulnerable to getting affected with this disease because of the presence of some dangerous toxins like benzine, arsenic, tar, etc. They destroy the lung cells.
(To be contd)
