Tobacco’s Toll
You light up, you’re rolling the dice. Smokers face a much higher risk of head and neck cancers, especially in the mouth and throat. It’s a fact: most folks with these cancers have a smoking past. And the more you puff, the greater the danger. Cigarettes, pipes, cigars – they all up your cancer odds. Even being around smokers isn’t safe; secondhand smoke can do damage too. Chew on that.
The Chew Crew
Think chewing tobacco is harmless? Think again. Snuff, dip, chew – they’re all linked to cancers in your mouth’s nooks and crannies. Chew for years, and your risk skyrockets. And it’s not just cancer you’re signing up for; gum disease, tooth loss – they’re part of the package too.
A New Path
If you get hit with mouth or throat cancer, it’s time to kick the habit. Smoking during treatment? Big mistake. It slows down healing, ramps up side effects, and makes infections more likely. And if you light up after treatment, you’re just asking for a round two of cancer. Time to break the cycle and prioritize your health.
Stay Healthy, Stay Wise
Remember, it’s not just about quitting for now; it’s about safeguarding your future. Your health is worth the effort.
