9. Smoking
Smoking is very bad for our health. It can cause devastating damage to our lungs, potentially leaving us with severe respiratory problems, and it can have a severe impact on our overall well-being. There is also a chance that smoking can lead to lung cancer, but that is not the only type of cancer it can lead to.
Tobacco use has been shown to increase the risk of gastric cancer, particularly in the upper part of the stomach known as the cardia. Certain components of tobacco can lead to damage of the gastric lining, and this can sometimes result in cancer. There are numerous reasons to stop smoking in addition to preventing cancer, and doing so may help to make your life much more enjoyable overall, as well as longer.
