This has been accompanied by an increased risk of lung cancer due to a smokers' need to maintain blood nicotine levels, which in turn causes the need for smoking more cigarettes per day and deeper inhalation. T
It is not clear whether the risk for lung cancer is direct or an effect of nicotine dependence, as evidence for both scenarios exist. In this study, we summarize the body of work implicating nAChRs in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, with special focus on the clustered nAChR subunits and ...
Objective:Chinese women residing in Asia and Hawaii have low consumption of tobacco but a high incidence of lung cancer. To explore this question further,
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that modulate key physiological processes ranging from neurotransmission to cancer signaling. These receptors are activated by the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, and the tobacco alkaloid, nicotine. Recently, the gene cluster encoding th...

cancer-related death than ex-smokers who had quit five years or more and hadn’t used e-cigarettes. For smokers who had quit less than five years, those who used e-cigarettes were found to have both a higher risk of both lung cancer and lung cancer mortality than non-e-cigarette users...
It has been known for many years that smoking causes lung cancer. An association was clearly documented in case–control studies conducted in Germany in the 1930s [1], and in the United States and Great Britain [2, 3] in the 1950s, and was strengthened by surveys of large cohorts. This...
Smoking is one of the leading causes of breast cancer. This is due to the harmful chemicals in cigarettes that can damage DNA and cause cells to grow abnormally, leading to cancer. Women who smoke are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who don’t smoke, and the risk increases...
