Attention Smokers

Smokers have it rough. Not only do they face an increased risk of heart disease,stroke,cancer,respiratory problems,and other deadly diseases,they also have to put up with some lesser known health hazards. They are

Root canal infections: Smokers are 70% more likely to need treatment for root canal infections than non smokers according to a study.

Tooth loss: Previous research found that they are also twice as likely to loose their teeth,since smoking contributes to periodontal disease. Pack-a-day smokers can expect to lose an extra two teeth per decade.

Impotence: Male smokers have an increased risk of impotence. This occurs even in relatively young men,according to a recent Australian study.

Wrinkles: Long term smokers have thinner,less elastic skin than nonsmokers,so they are more likely to develop serious premature wrinkling and other signs of aging.

Gray hair: They are also upto four times more likely to get grey hair prematurely.

So keep this in mind and avoid smoking.
