Question

How is smoking the major cause of mortality?

don't spam plz

Answer 1

The genetic factors that explain why some people seem to maintain healthy lungs despite a lifetime of smoking have been uncovered by British scientists.

A team funded by the Medical Research Council say their investigations into smokers who survive their habit into old age could hold the key to better treatment for diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

They say their findings, which have also identified the genetic differences which affect whether a person is more likely to get addicted to cigarettes, could also lead to better interventions to help people quit.
