Early Smoking Significantly Raises Bladder Cancer Risk in Later Life

Children who start smoking before the age of 15 are significantly at a greater risk of developing bladder cancer risk in later life, report European researchers. Even children exposed to second hand smoke at an early age are more likely to develop this cancer, reported the study.

Results of the study:

Children who start smoking before the age of 15 are likely to develop bladder cancer in later life three times more than children who don’t smoke.

Children exposed to second hand smoke in home are likely to develop 40% risk of bladder cancer in later life than children who are not exposed.

Exposure to carcinogens (the cancer causing elements present in smoke) at an early age i.e. during childhood and adolescence cause serious health risks than carcinogen exposure in later life.

“The indication in our study is that early exposure to tobacco smoke might increase the risk of bladder cancer calls for further research and adds to the body of evidence suggesting that children are more sensitive to carcinogens [cancer-causing agents] than adults,” reported the researchers in the International Journal of Cancer.

Previous studies showed association between smoking and development of bladder cancer risk. This is the first study that showed a link between early smoking in children and increased bladder cancer risk in later life.
