Description

The Shocking Truth About Smoking and Cancer!Part 3This video dives deep into the molecular chaos caused by tobacco smoke, revealing how it doesn’t just increase cancer risk—it drives it. Every puff delivers over 7,000 chemicals, including 69 known carcinogens like benzo-A-pyrene and formaldehyde. These toxins bind to DNA, creating harmful adducts that trigger mutations, particularly in critical genes like TP53, which regulate cell growth. The damage isn’t limited to the lungs—smoking wreaks havoc on the bladder, pancreas, cervix, and more. From oxidative stress to epigenetic changes, tobacco smoke is a silent saboteur of your body’s defenses.But the danger doesn’t stop there. Secondhand smoke and third-hand smoke (residual chemicals on surfaces) also pose risks, especially for children. The video unpacks how even light smoking carries significant cancer risks, debunking the myth that “social smoking” is safe. This episode is a must-watch for anyone curious about how smoking rewires your biology. Whether you’re a smoker, a healthcare professional, or a curious viewer, this video will leave you thinking:
