Did you know that smoking one pack of cigarettes per day raises your risk for Prostate Cancer?
We all know that nicotine is very addictive and some people cannot quite quit the smoking habit. If you, or a loved one is looking for another reason to quit smoking, you may want to consider the results of this recent study. The study shows that there exists a link between the severity of prostate cancer and smoking. The study also states that there is a 1% increase in PSA levels (prostate specific antigen) which is a laboratory test done to screen for prostate cancer, for every pack- year of cigarettes smoked. However, nonsmokers were more likely to survive prostate cancer. So, if you have not yet quit, please consider this!
