What causes cancer?

Each cancer is thought to first start from one abnormal cell. What seems to happen is that certain vital genes which control how cells divide and multiply are damaged or altered. This makes the cell abnormal. If the abnormal cell survives it may multiply 'out of control' into a malignant tumour.

We all have a risk of developing cancer. Many cancers seem to develop for no apparent reason. However, certain risk-factors are known to increase the chance that one or more of your cells will become abnormal and lead to cancer.Risk factors include the following:

Chemical carcinogens
A carcinogen is something (chemical, radiation, etc) which can damage a cell and make it more likely to turn into a cancerous cell. As a general rule, the more the exposure to a carcinogen, the greater the risk. A list of known and suspected chemical carcinogens can be found at Known and Suspected Carcinogens

In the link there's said that Tabbaco Smoke may be Chemical Carcinogen, but before that, we have to read the following statement.

"The following chemicals are known or suspected carcinogens. This list has been compiled from a number of sources, but it is not (and cannot be) comprehensive. Therefore, the absence of a chemical from this list does not mean that it cannot have carcinogenic properties. Neither does the presence of a chemical in the list indicate that it is a proven carcinogen."

Fuck Mariami is arrogant. After you have read some articles or at least have a quick browse through wiki then don't object something that is commonly accepted as the truth.

1. Truth: I am arrogant.
2. The earth being flat was commonly accepted as the truth too. Does that make it flat?

No offence Bella, but I already proved that I am correct and you'd know it too if you read my post.

Okay well just to clear shit up.

Smoking causes you to get a black lung.
From that anything can happen. Not necessarily cancer.
Although lung cancer is commonly caused by smoking.
It can come from other things though.
Nuff said.

I smoke.
I smell bad.
It's a disgusting habit.
End of story.

Bullshit. My grandma smoked heavily for 40 years, and died of lung cancer about a year ago. Second hand smoke, on the other hand, is pretty hyped.

I say be persistent in trying to talk her into quitting. Be sure to emphasize the fact that you are worried about her health.

Maybe have you tried telling her why you conplain and not just QUIT SMOKING another tip explain that you only do it because you care about the health of the household.
