if you start smoking at an early age, you are more vulnerable to cancer? is that true?

Question

someone even told me that when you quie smoking before 25 or something you can recover fast, and the older you get itsvery difficult to recover from the damage smoking has caused you?

i am not planning to start smoking i am planning to quit

i am not planning to start smoking i am planning to quit

Answer 1

don't even start, it's not worth it. duh, don't you think paper sticks full of formaldehyde, cyadnide, and other fun, delicious, poisonous stuff is going to give you lung cancer?! plus general cancer in other areas also?! it may be faster before 25, yes, but everything's faster when you're younger.

Answer 2

Yes, that's partly true...

But they're finding that smoking as an adolescent, or when your body is still growing, can cause irreparable damage. For example, studies are showing that smoking as an adolescent girl may lead to premenopausal breast cancer later on- even if one has quit. That is very bad. So, it's always best to just not smoke at all.

Peace.

Answer 3

smoking...more harmful tot he people who inhale your second hand smoke
the carbon monoxide in the smoke kills brain cells every time you light up
smoking burns off the cilia in your tracheobronchial tree and the mucus starts to build up
smoking make you more vulnerable to lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and sinus conditions
smoking keeps the surgeons, oxygen companies, chemotherapy manufacturers, radiation administrators, emergecny departments, wheelchair/scooter companies (and many more) in business
smoking stinks up your car, house and clothes
smoking costs about 1000 a year for a 1ppd smoker
if you stop smoking, it has been shown that it may take up to 11 years to get a healthy lund appearance back, but that depends on how badly damaged they are to begin with!
please don't start...good luck
