Smoker Risk Assessment
To save yourself from life-threatening diseases, a smoker risk assessment is a
must!
Smoking not only exposes you to the risk of developing lung cancer but also
cardiovascular diseases and other life-threatening conditions. Women who smoke must
undergo this assessment because women’s lungs are smaller than men. Smoking can
damage all the organs of a body and lead to early death. Cigarettes, cigars, and
pipes are life-threatening.
Career Cancer Research Centre offers screenings and lab tests for those on their
journey of quitting smoking.
There is no safe smoking. As soon as a person starts smoking the airways and small
air sacs in the lungs begin to get damaged. The damage increases each time the
person smokes but takes a few years before incurable damage is noticed.
Smoking can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung
infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. It can worsen some existing lung
diseases, such as asthma. It can cause lung, mouth, throat, kidney, stomach etc
cancer.
