Lung cancer is the most common one, but my father always says smoking affects the throat and bladder too. Our family doctor strongly advises staying completely away from all tobacco products.

Smoking causes lung, mouth, and throat cancers. While drinking warm herbal tea can help soothe the throat daily, quitting smoking completely is the only real cure for prevention.

I recently finished my treatment for throat cancer which was linked to my smoking habit. Take it from me, quitting today is the best gift you can give your family.

It causes lung and esophageal cancers. Let us treat our bodies like temples, keep clean habits, and pray for the strength to overcome addictions.

I totally get it, quitting smoking is extremely difficult but it reduces the risk of lung and oral cancers significantly. Stay strong on your journey.

Smoking is linked to lung, mouth, throat, and even kidney cancer. If you or a loved one is trying to quit, take it one day at a time and use nicotine patches if needed.
