The Lesser-Known Urological Effects of Smoking | Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kıraç

If you think smoking only damages the lungs, think again! In addition to affecting the respiratory system, smoking can also negatively impact the urinary system and urological health. It is a major risk factor for bladder cancer. There is a strong link between smoking and bladder cancer. Smoking can also lead to various health problems, including an increased risk of kidney cancer, impaired vascular health, and erectile dysfunction. Therefore, when considering the harmful effects of smoking, you should think not only about your lungs but also about your kidneys, bladder, and overall urological health. Consider quitting smoking to protect your health.
