Deadly ritual: why morning cigarette is especially dangerous for health

British medical professionals have discovered an alarming pattern: the morning cigarette can become a fatal ritual for millions of smokers. The study revealed that a significant portion of tobacco-dependent people start their day with a nicotine dose.

Shocking survey data shows: 42 percent of smokers reach for a cigarette within the first half hour after waking up. Doctors are raising the alarm - such a habit causes a sharp spike in the level of tobacco carcinogens in the blood. This dramatically increases the risk of developing lung cancer, oral cavity cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other deadly oncological diseases.

Scientists have established that even a slight delay can save a life. Smokers who abstain from cigarettes for at least an hour after waking up have half the level of body intoxication compared to those who light up immediately.

Medical specialists strongly urge people to give up morning cigarettes, and ideally - to completely overcome tobacco addiction, reports "Doctor Peter" publication.

Regarding electronic cigarettes, which many mistakenly perceive as a safe alternative, doctor Alexandra Fileva warns: aerosol from vapes contains toxic substances that pose a serious threat to others. Despite the fact that the risks of passive vaping differ from the risks of passive smoking of conventional cigarettes, they also require serious attention and close monitoring.
