Can throat cancer develop if you smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day?

Pain, perspiration, cough, feeling of a coma or a foreign object in the throat, viscous saliva - all these are the consequences of the habit of smoking. After smoking, a sore throat due to inhalation of hot carcinogenic smoke.

Harmful substances of tobacco smoke that cause pain:

Arsenic. The poison accumulates in the body, causing systemic malfunctions. Arsenic affects metabolic processes. If we talk about smoking, then this poison accumulates in the bronchi, causing their destruction.

Polonium-210. A radioactive element that causes light exposure to humans. Constant exposure to this element leads to a reduction in human life.

Radium. Another heavy metal. Accumulating in body cells, it causes mutations that lead to the appearance of malignant tumors.

Benzopyrene. An element that blocks metabolic processes between cells. Water exchange is disturbed, which leads to depletion of the cell and its further death.

Nicotine. It is this element that is addictive, integrating into the metabolic processes of the body. Frightening is the fact that addiction to nicotine occurs within 2-3 days of smoking.

Tar. An important element of cigarettes and the smoking process. Tobacco contains a large amount of tar and tannins, which are deposited in the bronchi. The tar makes the tobacco smoke heavier. Sore throat after smoking may be due to the fact that resins block metabolic processes in the cells of the larynx. E-cigarettes and hookahs are virtually tar-free, making them easier to smoke than regular cigarettes. But that doesn't make them safe.

Carbon dioxide. Penetrates into the bloodstream during breathing, replacing oxygen. There is oxygen starvation and hypoxia. Many cells of the body die, especially the nervous system. Because of the lack of oxygen, the brain signals the heart to work faster to provide the organs with the necessary gas. It is for this reason that smokers often experience incoming arrhythmias.

Hydrogen cyanide. Destroys the bronchi, from which chronic bronchitis develops in smokers. Morning cough in people with this habit is a symptom of bronchitis.

Personally, I quit smoking (I used to smoke 2-2.5 packs a day for 8 years) using a very good remedy. Its advantages:

• Removes cravings for cigarettes

• Eliminates psychological addiction

• Suppresses the desire to smoke while intoxicated

• Prevents weight gain

• Cleans the body of tobacco toxins
