Smoking Leads To Colon Cancer

Recently in a study, it is revealed that smoking increases the risk of colorectal cancer. It is proved that smoking increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer about 18 percent. Last year, tobacco killed more than five billions in the world causing colon cancer.

It is proved that smokers will have more than 25 percent of higher risk of dying from colon cancer than the non-smokers. In US itself, it is estimated that more than fifty thousand deaths occurred because of smoking in this year till now.

At present around the world there are more than 1.5 billion smokers. Smoking currently causes more than six million deaths in a year.

People who eat high amount of meat more than fruits and vegetables will have more risk of cancer. So in order to prevent colon cancer you should eat fruits and vegetables that are good for health in many other ways.
