The negative effects of cigarettes increased again. If during the cigarette synonymous with lung disease and heart disease, new study finds tobacco smoke also make people vulnerable type 2 diabetes.

This cigarette smoke can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (diabetes due to lifestyle) for both active and passive smokers.

A study shows that cigarette smoke increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, and this risk will be higher in passive smokers. The results of this study have been reported in the paper of Diabetes Care.

“The potential risk of diabetes from exposure to cigarette smoke was previously unknown. For that people should limit exposure to cigarette smoke from the surrounding environment,” said Dr. David Nathan, head of the Diabetes Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, was quoted as saying by Reuters.

For this latest study, Dr John P Forman and colleagues from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston to see the response of 100,000 women. Participants are given the questions about how much time they become active smokers or passive smokers.

Forman and his team found that women who smoke more than two packs a day have the highest likelihood of developing diabetes, and risk of diabetes will be higher in women who are exposed to smoke (passive smoking).

“Although the participants were women but there is no reason that this research does not apply to men, because the same risk factors for diabetes for both sexes,” says Forman.

Meanwhile, Nathan said that is not known with certainty what the relationship between diabetes and smoking, but there is the possibility of inflammation meainkan role in both these conditions. The results of this study suggest a link with one another.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body can not process sugar well and usually occurs in adults. This condition can be controlled with diet and exercise, but if not handled properly can cause life-threatening complications.
