The results of the studies show that smokers are 16% higher risk of postmenopausal breast cancer compared with women who never smoked. former smokers have an average of 9%, increased risk of breast cancer, but the risk is the worst for women who smoked after their years, or 50 years or longer and 20 years after the woman to stop smoking, the risk is higher than the average lifetime risk of breast cancer.
Some of the women in this study had never smoked, but was exposed to secondhand smoke. "those who have been exposed to extensively on passive smoking 10 years during childhood, and adulthood in 20 years at home, or 10 years as an adult in the workplace had 32% of the excess risk of breast cancer, so if you had parents who smoke, when you were a child, or the husband or wife or partnerthat he was smoking at home, or coworkers, who smoked around you at work, yet you didn't do any favors.
