Yes, frequent smoking can also increase the risk for brain tumors, even if some sources claim something else!

In tobacco smoke there are hundreds of different carcinogens, i.e. carcinogens, which in principle can promote the development of cancer throughout the body.

Some of these carcinogenic substances can overcome the blood-brain barrier and then develop their cancer-promoting effect in the brain.

A classic example of this is the carcinogenic nicotine, which can pass through the barrier through diffusion and enters the brain.

(Of course, this is also the case in carcinogenic alcohol…)

Although it is usually not the sole cause, these substances nevertheless contribute significantly to the formation of cancer cells.

In addition, lung cancer, which is caused by smoking, can also in turn scatter into many other organs in the body (the development of metastases) and thus trigger other indirect cancers.

There is no scientific connection with brain tumors and smoking.

It’s different in lung cancer.

According to current science, brain tumors are more likely to be associated with genetic predisposition

Ohmed, you’re talking again. There is no scientifically confirmed connection.

I also know people suffering from lung cancer without ever smoking in their lives.

When considering how many people smoke are 2 people you know nothing

If you knew 1,000 people, that would be something else, even that’s hardly anything about how many people smoke regularly

If you get lung cancer through smoking and this is scattering, it is probably not excluded

That’s right, that’s metastases.
