Danger of Smoking in the Morning

Smoking in the morning, especially accompanied by a cup of coffee, has become a

ritual that hard to break. However, these habits seem to need to be stopped from
smoking at the beginning of the day is more dangerous than smoking on the day or
night.

Research shows that smoking after waking up would increase the risk of lung cancer,
neck and head. "Morning smokers have high levels of nicotine and other toxins from
tobacco in his body. They are also more addicted than smokers who refrained from
smoking a half hour or so after waking up," said researcher Joshua Muscat of Penn State
College of Medicine.

To find out why some smokers get cancer and not, Muscat and his team examined the
link between cancer risk is there with the habit of first cigarette in the morning.

The first study involved 4775 patients with lung cancer and 2835 of other smokers
without lung cancer. Those who smoke 30 minutes after waking up 1.79 times higher
risk of suffering from lung cancer than those who waited more than 60 minutes.
Meanwhile, those who smoked 31-60 minutes after waking up had 1.31 times the risk
compared to those who wait at least an hour.

The second study involved 1055 people with brain and neck cancer and 795 people who
smoked but did not suffer brain and neck cancer. Those who smoked within 30 minutes
when you wake up 1.59 times the risk of brain and neck cancer compared with those
who waited an hour.

The risk of smokers who smoked 31-60 minutes after waking up 1.42 times than those
who wait at least an hour.
