Cancer of the vocal cords and Smoking


Smoking can cause lung cancer often we hear every day, but smoking can cause cancer of the VOCAL CORDS may still rarely heard, this time it was the turn of cancer of the vocal cords caused by smoking will we discuss how can to occur in the vocal cords.
Sure, of course, that cause cancer are harmful substances which are contained in the cigarette itself, well ... anything harmful substances in cigarettes?

Cigarettes made from the tropical tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum).When burned, the smoke produced contains approximately 4000 toxins to three main components namely the nicotine that causes dependence, the TAR which are carcinogenic (cancer originator), and carbon monoxide which cause respiratory system disorders. In addition to other part in smoking:-Phenol (floor cleaning materials)-Acetone (Nail Polish cleaning materials)-Arsenic (rat poison)-Mercury (minamata disease-causing)-hydrogen cyanide-Formaldehyde (a preservative corpses) materials above can increase your risk of getting cancer.That's some harmful substances – toxins that are in cigarettes.

How smoking can cause cancer?

When you light a cigarette and suck it, then hundreds, thousands, even millions of molekul2 free radicals get into your body. What are free radicals? Free Radicals (FR) is a compound that loses electrons is free so it is highly reactive, when it gets into the body of FR FR tend to steal electrons from the body, this process causes injury to the cell membrane and the nucleus in particular the lungs, leading to abnormalities and defects in DNA. What are the consequences? There was the process of cell division that is abnormal and uncontrolled and tumor/cancer. In addition to cigarette smoke, the environment we also produce FR include: UV rays from the Sun, motor vehicle exhaust gases, smog, smoke, etc.

Increasingly evident, all the cigarette smoke that can be smoked by all smokers?! The smoke will pass through a channel to the lungs and assembled there. before reaching the lungs will certainly pass the various organs of the network, such as the vocal cords, which is sensitive to stimuli from outside, in this case it is the radicals (FR). In principle all the networks passed, crossed by cigarette smoke can potentially have cancer.
