This bad habit could cause bladder cancer

Posted: Updated:

Smoking is one of the most common causes of bladder cancer, and now researchers say the higher the number of packs a person smokes, the deadlier the cancer.

The American Cancer Society published a study that examined the bladder tumors of more 200 patients who died.

Researchers found more aggressive cancers in heavy smokers than those who smoked less or didn't smoke at all.
