Smoking Early In The Morning Likely To Increase Chances Of Developing Cancer
Those who smoke as soon as they wake up are at more than double the risk of developing cancer than those who wait an hour or more, a new study reveals.
The study, which was published in the journal Cancer online, provided results of findings that may help government strategy when devising targeted smoking intervention initiatives. The scientists wanted to know the reason why some smokers developed cancer and others didn’t.
One area which was focussed on was the time of day cigarettes were smoked. Those who smoked between 31 to 60 minutes after rising in the morning were 1.3 times more likely to suffer from lung cancer when compared with those who waited 60 minutes or more. Those who started smoking up to 30 minutes after they awoke were at a 1.79 times greater risk than the same group who waited for over an hour.
It was acknowledged that individuals who started smoking soon after waking were more likely to pull more aggressively on their cigarettes leaving a higher amount of harmful, cancer-inducing toxins in their bodies.
Dr Joshua Muscat, the study leader, quoted in the Daily Mail, said: “These smokers have higher levels of nicotine and possibly other tobacco toxins in their body, and they may be more addicted than smokers who refrain from smoking for a half hour or more. It may be a combination of genetic and personal factors that cause a higher dependence to
