Smoking Damages DNA


 Smoking tobacco products causes damage to DNA that may last as long as 30 years.  While much of the damage from smoking may be healed within the first five years after stopping smoking, some DNA damage does not appear to revert to normal.  Some people use e-cigarettes in an attempt to find help to stop smoking.  There are also those who believe e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.  However, vaping, or smoking electronic cigarettes has a list of negative health effects, trading one serious health risk for another.

Smoking affects DNA methylation.  Genes are made up of DNA.  Changes to DNA called methylation affect how genes are expressed and may modify the way the genes affect health.  This can also affect the way the body responds to the environment.  Smoking can change DNA and increase risk of disease.  This type of DNA change has been linked to the development of cancers and the expression of cardiac disease.  DNA methylation is also linked to prenatal cigarette exposure and development of chronic disease when a child reaches adulthood.  Breathing secondhand smoke triggers health conditions that can be much like actual smoking.  It is also believed that nicotine from the air is absorbed through the skin.
