About 35% of cancer is caused by tobacco, 90% lung cancer is caused due to smoking tobacco. Passive smokers are the persons who are affected by the people smoking around. Even they are affected with lung cancer. The smokers not alone spoil their life, but also the people near them. Smokers’ genetic factors get altered like expression of cancer gene, which may get transferred to the next generation; hence their generations suffer a lot.
Bulging of lungs leads to veezing, sinus, pleural effusion, accumulation of fluid in pleura etc.
The bulged lungs occupy more space leaving less space for oesophagus and heart which may result in cardiac effusion.
These changes in body alter secretion of more or less hormones which may affect the brain and result in coma or brain damage or brain death.
These problems inside the body may affect the normal metabolism.
