Bladder Cancer Symptoms and Smoking—The Link
- Blood in urine
- Frequent urination
- Pelvic pain
Scientific studies have confirmed that smoking is one of the leading causes of bladder cancer, with smokers facing a risk that is three times higher than non-smokers. The toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke are absorbed into the bloodstream and eventually filtered through the kidneys, ultimately accumulating in urine. These carcinogens can damage bladder cells over time, significantly increasing the likelihood of developing cancer.
Despite the well-established link between smoking and bladder cancer, many individuals were unaware of the risks due to misleading information from tobacco companies. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with bladder cancer due to long-term smoking, you may have legal options to hold the tobacco industry accountable.
